cruisingrightalong Posted October 18, 2010 #827 Share Posted October 18, 2010 As some of you know....we are headed to Port Canaveral next Monday and staying over for the following weekend...this is in regards to the shuttle traffic...we will stay at the Hampton Inn in Cocoa Beach for the day when we check out...it "seems" almost directly across from the hotel is a road directly to the interstate.....which we can take to escape!!! ??????? back to the interestate? We know traffic may be a bear going north. Also, the park where they have the Thunderbirds is just down from the hotel so if we decide to go down there and not just watch the flying from the balcony/beach....seems to be walkable from the Hampton Inn...we don't want to move the car.

Lou Lou that is Highway #520 and it will take you to 95. Turn left at the light by the CVS drug store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarbear Pa Posted October 18, 2010 #829 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You would have to take the car rental shuttle. About 10 minutes. However if you could go in a Towncar for $60 that sounds like a good deal. Thanks so much I will look into both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiraryker Posted October 18, 2010 #831 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just wondering after reading other posts that some rental cars no longer shuttle you to the POM?

We will be renting a car from the Orlando airport then we want to drop it off the Sat of our cruise at the POM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaykat Posted October 19, 2010 #836 Share Posted October 19, 2010 We will be staying at Residence Inn for 3 nights before our cruise in January. We were planning to rent a car for those days, but after reading this thread, I got a quote from Executive limo (michael) and found that it may be cheaper for us to get someone to drive us to the places we need to go (ie from airport to hotel, from hotel to/from KSC, to/from shopping at Premium outlets). So now that we probably wont have a car, I was wondering if there are any places to eat dinner near the Residence Inn, preferably walking distance. We will have 2 kids with us (age 8 and 11) so not too far a walk.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also want to go to the port. Very close but you cannot walk. There are 4 places on the water and if you arrive by 4 you can see that days departures sail by so close you can touch the ships.

jaykat Posted October 19, 2010 #838 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks, thats good to know. If we cant walk to the other places you mentioned, what transport options are there? Do we need to take a taxi or is there a bus, or do you know if Residence Inn provides some form of shuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to take a taxi or is there a bus, or do you know if Residence Inn provides some form of shuttle? Taxi would be the easiest. Maybe $5-$7 + tip! I don't think that hotel has their own shuttle. I think they contract with one of the local companies for the ride to the ship. Reconsider renting a car. Its cheap, this area is small and easy to get around. Edited October 19, 2010 by psbcap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmccarthy Posted October 20, 2010 #840 Share Posted October 20, 2010 A few years ago my mom and I went on a cruise out of Port Canaveral. She had flowers delivered to the ship for my birthday. We are planning to do a cruise next Thanksgiving on the Freedom for my husband's aunt and uncle's 25th anniversary. They want to celebrate onboard the ship with cake and a toast. Can a cake be delivered to the ship or do you have to order through Royal Caribbean? Thanks, Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingrightalong Posted October 20, 2010 #842 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Just a thought on the flowers.....security doesn't usually now allow stuff on board....but you may be correct that RCCL does allow known businesses to deliver.....will say that the products ordered from the ship's store online have always been exactly what we ordered in case you have to do that.

futuremrsb Posted October 20, 2010 #843 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I am getting married the day before a cruise leaving from Port Canaveral next September. I am trying to choose a beach to be married on, but never having been in the area, this is a challenge. Cocoa Beach is out because we would like more privacy and a non-touristy beach. My wedding officient sent me a list with some pictures and I am torn between Cherie Downs Beach Park in Cape Canaveral and Pelican Beach Park in Satellite Beach. I am wanting something that is very nature-ful and doesn't have a lot of buildings on the shore or anything. Can someone help with suggestions? Thanks!

Both are nice but Pelican is on a busy road and the noise might interfere. Cherie Down is in a residential neighborhood and is quite nice. It would be my choice and 30 minutes closer to the ship. And most important I live on the road CD is on and can walk there in 5 minutes, that is if I am invited. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to ask the same question, except I was also going to ask if you know of any restaurant that would deliver to the Residence Inn. Hubby & I are leaving our parents there to fend for thmselves while we visit with friends and just want to know what options then will have for dining. Last time we were there they had frozen entrees for sale at the lobby shop as well, not sure if this is still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
