melenovs Posted November 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi fellow cruisers! I am flying into Orlando for an upcoming cruise on the Dream. We don't arrive in Orlando until the evening and were hoping to stay in a nice hotel with a free shuttle from the airport. I'd love a hotel with a gym and a decent place to eat at, or near by. I think our group is going to schedule our own transit to the cruise the next day so that is not a problem. Any suggestion?! :rolleyes: Thanks!

hpreece Posted November 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The airport is a bit far from the cruise port and it was cheaper for us to rent a car. We drove to Cocoa Beach and rented a hotel. CB is only a few miles from Port Canaveral. We stayed at Holiday Inn...I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT THERE. They had an issue with bugs. -Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted November 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We recently stayed at the Hyatt right at the airport. This was our 2nd time staying here. It is very nice.....not a resort but has many opportunities for restaurants and a decent gym and pool. Their rooms are very nice and updated The great thing is just rolling your luggage to the check in and being picked up there the next morning by cocoa beach shuttle. We just took the elevator to the ground floor and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck eh? Posted November 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We are also going on the Dream in Jan. Also arriving at night in Orlando and are staying at the LaQuinta Universal. Free shuttle from airport and complimentary breakfast. Very good price. Check their website and it will show you all the restaurants and the distance from the hotel. We always stay at LaQuinta.

Sprocket Rocket Posted November 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The airport Hyatt is a nice place and very convenient. It is part of the main terminal. There are several nice properties just outside the airport. The area is sometimes referred to as Lee Vista Center. It's about a 45 minute ride to the Port from the airport and traffic should not be an issue. I know there is a Renaissance but there are others as well.

CruzLuvr! Posted November 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2009 We are staying at the orlando airport Hawthorn Suites. They have a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel and they also offer a free shuttle to any of the local businesses (restaurants, etc.) within a 2 mile radius.

cusyl Posted November 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Why not stay in Port Canaveral? Orlando is a long way from the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melenovs Posted November 24, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted November 24, 2009 everyone is arriving at different times so we figured it would be easier to just get together as the day goes on near the airport. We were just going to get a van to drive us all together to the port the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
