I don’t know the answer to this one but I am sure the gurus that lives around the area might know !!! 3 hours ago, FionaMG said: Benny, I'm wondering if you (or anyone else who is on board with you and/or following the thread) know if the current 5 pm closing time at Kennedy Space Center is the normal (i.e. pre-Covid) closing time or if it would usually be open later than that? We'd like to go but with a 1 pm arrival time into PC it doesn't seem like we'd get long enough there for it to be worthwhile. I would not do it. We did the KSC a full day before our cruise. We spent over 6 hours. There is just to much to see and do in that short of time. Best thing to do is a cruise out of PC arrive twos early and give yourself a full day to see KSC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were upping occupancy last month too but this month the NE kids are out of school and will be out of school until Labor Day so I am seeing the full effect… I will not be on another Royal ship until September… my next cruise will be on NCL Jade to Greece in July / August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted June 27, 2022 Author #356 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Day 4 Security incident update… from what I gathered I think something got flushed down the drain … maintenance/ security / officers just opened up the panel and took apart the drain and they are looking for something… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Trying to decide if we're better off going early May (fewer peeps but maybe dodgy weather), late May (better weather, more peeps) or hedge our bets and go mid-month (best or worst of both worlds)! Not long now till that Greece cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I could do as you suggest but I can't make the logistics work and since we're coming from across the pond who knows when or if we'll get another shot. Even though I know it's far from ideal, I'm kind of leaning towards grabbing the opportunity when I can. Of course if I win the lottery in the meantime... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further South kids get out earlier but I don't know how many families fly north to take a southern cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're limited to May for work reasons, so that's good to know. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the lunar module show than work your way back to the entrance by going to the space shuttle exhibit next. Those are the two most impressive things to see. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
