We recently sailed out of POM (Feb) and opted to do our pre-cruise stay at the Hampton Inn Suites Blue Lagoon. They have a comp shuttle from MIA to the hotel and a pretty good comp breakfast. Also a for fee ($14.00pp) shuttle to the port. The hotel is right across the street from a Publix market shopping center with a few restaurants and fast food etc. etc. We were so happy with this hotel that we'll be staying there again for another pre-cruise night this May.

We certainly didn't have to "ask" as they (several of them from the same company) were walking just outside the terminal doors holding big signs and calling out "Shuttle to MIA...$10.00pp" hard to miss them.

Try Cruise Control....our favorite shuttle transportation to Port Canaveral from MCO. 888 416-8830

We were just (Feb/March) in an OS on Explorer...our favorite category. More than enough perks for us including ordering from the MDR menu during their dining hours. Enjoy this ship !!!

If you're in a suite the SL Concierge will email you a week prior to your departure date.

Enjoy Explorer. We were most recently on her this past Feb/March. Line up early for the ice show...it's a popular one....but as noted above no reservations necessary/available on this class of ship.

We've used the shuttle service that has big signs as you exit the terminal. It's $10.00pp and they fill up so quickly and are on their way...Couldn't have been easier this past Feb to get from POM to MIA.

You would be better off renting a car for the day...just note the rental hours....and the open hours of KSC. If you're a Costco member they have good rates. We rented from Budget for our trip to KSC. Budget offers a comp shuttle to/from their close by location.

Thanks...I try to be as current and correct as possible when giving info.

Yes...those glass bottles are nice.

Thanks for adding to my post #9.

I believe it has to do with the casino level of onboard play.

Sorry it doesn't say on their website but they absolutely DO. We just used it on Feb 23rd from the hotel to the POM. We signed up for it the night we checked into the hotel and chose our departure time for the next morning.

Lot's of taxi's lined up at Crown Bay that will take you anywhere you want to go. They'll be a sign with pricing and you'll take a shared taxi. Probably several people wanting to go to Megan's Bay.
