Pre cruise lodging near port canavral

[Everforward27]

Hello there,

 

We are trying to take a Carnival cruise eastern Caribbean on the Valor. Any suggestions on this cruise would be awesome! We were thinking of flying in the Friday before we leave for the cruise and maybe doing a beach day. Is there anywhere that provides transportation from airport to hotel then to port? Thanks in advance

airport is about 1 hour from the port so no 'free' shuttles

 

Radisson will package all your transfers ... for a price ... and is just outside the port (not ON the beach, but Jetty Park is minutes away)

the least expensive option is a one way car rental .. gives you flex' when looking for dinner etc as well

 

rentals at the cape (use location Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach)

Hertz, Budget, Avis, Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, National, Alamo, Payless ... all run shuttles to the port and all are with 3 miles of the port.

Most people do one way car rentals. We always stay the Marriott Residence Inn. Good hot breakfast included. Not on the beach but we always have a rental car that we take to the beach. The hotel is probably the closest one to the port. The car rentals all have free shuttles but they are also extremely busy because they shuttle people just off the cruise & those going to the terminal. Give yourself plenty of time. Great restaurants right at the port, we like eating at Fishlips right at the pier. You get to wave to the ships leaving the ports in the afternoon.

If you are doing the rental car, no real reason to stay at the motels near port. Look into the Doubletree or Hampton. Both on beach with balconies overlooking ocean
