Sparky1957 Posted January 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Greetings ! We have been on a Caribbean cruise in the past and really enjoyed it. 4 ports. We are now planning a cruise out of New Jersey for the Bahamas. The only port, that has me worried some...is the Orlando (Port Canaveral). This looks like a port, that we cannot 'walk off' and do the walking to the shops, etc. Not interested in seeing Mickey and Gang...as we have seen them in the past. I see what Royal Caribbean has to offer....Would anyone like to add suggestions, or maybe share their experiences of what they did at this port ? Thanks Sparky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted January 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Kennedy Space Center, beach, airboat tour... The one thing I wouldn’t do is walk off the ship in Nassau without a plan. There are things to do, beautiful beaches, walking tours, places to visit, but the immediate area by the port is pretty much a dump with lots of locals harassing you.

Sparky1957 Posted January 21, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thank You. That is the impression that I am getting. We have spent time in Florida in the past, so I can't see us wanting to take in a tour. May just 'stay on the boat'. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sparky We usually stay on the boat for the first few hours after it docks. Then we'll take a cab over to one of the restaurants on the water and enjoy some food and drinks. There are a few to choose from - Rusty's, Fishlips and Grills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
