  1. I will be sailing on Dream in May and would like to know what you would recommend for a hotel near Port Canaveral. I am looking for free shuttle service to the cruise terminal. I will be flying into MCO the day before and will be taking a limo service to the hotel.

     

     

    Instead of the limo service you might want to consider a rental car so you can stop for last minute items etc? If you do this you can pick any hotel you like return the car in the morning (Budget, Thrifty, Dollar) all centrally located in Cocoa beach about 3 miles from the port. They have FREE shuttles to the port when you turn in the car. Very easy 50 minute drive from MCO to the cruiseport area.

  2. Hi All,

     

    My car rental firm of choice is Dollar (coming from Britain, they seem to offer the best offers etc). I will be travelling from Orlando to Port Canaveral to board Freedom on a Sunday. Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad about dropping off the car at the Dollar Cape Canaveral location?

     

    In a worst case scenario, would it be possible to get a taxi from their C. Canaveral to the port, and approximately how much would this cost?

     

    Thanks, Steve

     

    Dollar and Thrifty are together about 3 miles past the port in Cocoa beach. They have shuttles that will take you to the port and back. Budget is a bit closer and do the same thing. The dollar rental office is NOT at the MCO (orlando airport). Once you get your luggage they have a shuttle which takes you to the rental office 5 miles away. The office is very close to the beeline expressway which takes you right to Cape Canaveral about 50 mintes drive away.
