Hi, seen the posts before but cant find them now.... anyone recommend a good shuttle service from Orlando airport to the La Quinta? I emailed a company called Royal cocoa shuttle but they havent responded back and their phone is working. ( The hotel recommended them). We are flying in a day earliy for a cruise in 2 weeks. Thanks as always for the help...

This information is straight from RCCL Requirements:

 

"Alien Registration Card (Green Card)

 

U.S. lawful permanent residents will continue to be able to use their Alien Registration Card issued by the Department of Homeland Security or other valid evidence of permanent residence status to apply for entry to United States.

 

Card renewal is an important matter. ARC holders (United States permanent residents) with expired cards may be considered "out of status" and may be denied entry / reentry into the United States. If your ARC was issued over 10 years ago, you should check the expiration date printed on the front of the card. If your card is expired, or it is about to expire, you should renew your card before you sail.

 

If you are holding an old edition ARC WITHOUT an expiration date, you will not be detained from entering the United States but U.S. Customs and Border Protection highly suggests that you apply for a new card before you sail.

 

For additional information, visit: http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/greencard_renewal.html

"

Thank you for your quick response. I am being told different things by reps at RCI but mostly that he only needs his i.d and green card. My sister used to work checking in guests for DCL and she confirmed this.

OKay just won the Country Inn and Suites Cape Canaveral on Priceline for 75.00 a night, 2 nights pre cruise. Probably could have gotten a better deal had I of waited but that is almost 30.00 cheaper than the posted rates on the hotel's website.

 

Now I have a few questions...Does this hotel offer parking and shuttle to the port. if not how far is the port from the hotel. And last but not least how far is the hotel from Cocoa Beach? My friends wants to go to the beach some and I need to know about public beach access too and parking for that. OR is there public transportation to the beach from the hotel.

 

Thanks in advance...

Hello Melana,

The CI&S is a very nice place with a great staff - they offer free parking and shuttle to the port and it is about 2 miles or less from there - If you want to go to the beach, the closest

places start after you pass the triangle which is about 1/2 mile South - any of the streets on the left side will take you to the beach - if you want something better, you would have to go to the Cocoa Beach Pier which is on Ridgewood which runs beside A1A on the South side and it is about 2 and 1/2 miles from CI&S - you would have to catch a cab or shuttle in order to get there and CI&S could arrange that for you.

Drop Bud a note and he can advise you better - this is email address and he is the GM

bud.burch@countryinns.com

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Hi... new on this thread and have tried to read through all the post over the past 3 days. After doing so I do have a question and I am hoping it's not a repeat although I don't believe I've seen anything about it.

We are cruising into Port Canaveral next July and will be in port from 12pm - 10pm. We want to spend a few hours on the beach & I have been reading about Jetty Park & Cocoa Beach. I'd like some opinions on which would be the best one to visit. We have 5 adults, a 18 year old, a 14 year old and a 15 year old.

Also, I see there are taxi cabs from the port to the beaches, but are the taxis waiting at the beaches to take guest back to the port or do we need to call one?

Lastly, what's a 'must see' for the adults in terms of night life? We're not drinkers so bar hoping is out. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

If you will go to page 15 and look for post #295, you will find all the answers you need or if you can wait for a few days, I have a new updated list to post.

Shirley, The very next post should start the next page if you are ready with your updated list. Thanks for all you do for all of us!:)

 

Please try to save the next post for Shirley's updated list.

Hello Peg,
Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to help me - we will do it on the next time ok? Everything should be in place by then and too this will give me extra time to add some other stuff to it - its going to be longer so I do not know if it will be acceptable by CC, but we will wait and see - it should answer just about any questions folks may have without repeating over and over. One of the reasons Preston left was due to many would not do any research or read the post made, but as the thread grew, it was hard to keep track of what anything was - I really understood Preston fusteration cause I got there a few times myself - anyhow I hope that this link will at least make folks mind a little easier.
also when I contacted the Hilton and the Inn of Cocoa Beach to help me update their information, they declined and aske their information be removed (I so still don't understand why or the reasons behind it all, but I am following their wishes) so if you want any information on these 2 places, you will have to call them directly
Anyhow hope all had a great holiday and now its back to reality check :-)
Have a great week

[Clay Clayton]

Just adding a note so that hopefully we will soon be to a new page.

[FONT=Century Gothic][SIZE=3]Of course I know one person's fun, is another person's bore...but I guess I just wanted some ideas. Trying to please everyone in a variety of age ranges on 'port' days seems like a challenge thus far. :([/SIZE][/FONT]

If you only want titles or something in a color other than blue, you have to "highlight" the words you want a different color by [COLOR="Red"]pressing and holding down[/COLOR] the left mouse button and then drag the mouse to the end of the word or sentence you want to make a different color. Release the left button and move up to the arrow next to the big "A" with a thick black line under it, click on the arrow and choose the color you want. What used to be a black line under the "A" will now be the [COLOR="red"]color you chose[/COLOR]. If you want other words red you have to repeat the "highlighting" but if you click on the "A" instead of the arrow next to it, you will get red. If you click on the arrow by mistake as I often do, just pick red again. As big as your info post is, this will take you forever. The colors do not show until you preview the post but you will see [COLOR="Red" ] (no space after the " when you do it for real) before and after what you had hightlighted. I hope this answers your question, otherwise try again if I misunderstood. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]You have to do all this after you copy and paste the actual post in the message block.[/COLOR] Edited September 8, 2010 by peg013

Does anyone know which car rental agency doesn't charge a drop off fee? I have a 1 way rental from Avis post cruise returning at MCO and they say they're the only ones in the PC area that do not charge drop off rates. I now need one pre-cruise for a 1 way to PC and was wondering if any of the airport locations charge drop off fees to PC or not.

Shirley,

Thank you so much for putting me in contact with Stefani(courtyard) she was able to help me!!!
