Scotstravellers Posted April 22, 2023 #26 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Looking at booking the organised trip to Kennedy Space Centre but £108 per person was wondering if anyone else has done this trip and was it worth the money? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max011 Posted April 24, 2023 #28 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hi Scotstravellers, It is the 1st time Marella have been, might be worth asking again after the 1st lot have gone in May. We have booked the KSC Marella excursion, so would hope we have priority getting off on that day, as everyone has to get off the ship for immigration purposes. Have a great cruise... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink15 Posted April 24, 2023 #29 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The space centre is well worth going to, Atlantis is stunning. But £108 seems a lot. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink15 Posted April 24, 2023 #30 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Have also had that email today from tui but had already seen it in the small print when booking (I'm a bit nerdy like that) seems a faff but their country, their rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather adult admission is $75 and then the cost of getting there. I saw elsewhere someone reckoned uber or equivalent $50. So a lot depends on how many of you are in your party. 1 or 2 adults then probably not much in it. Also if visiting on changeover day on a ship tour then hopefully will get priority on going ashore. If booking rivately then there could be a delay in getting ashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim The Scot Posted April 25, 2023 #32 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) An UberX(max 4 people)from Port Canaveral to KSC would be roughly $60-$80 return depending on traffic etc As you say admission $75 on the day,$64 if you purchase your ticket from the many reliable uk ticket sellers Edited April 25, 2023 by Jim The Scot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim The Scot Posted May 15, 2023 #40 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Well 1st day for Discovery sailing from Port Canaveral and not following itinerary so far.Should be heading to Charleston South Carolina but is en route to Freeport which should be the last port of call on itinerary🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbrumuk Posted May 15, 2023 #41 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Think I read on Book of Face that itinerary changed and will depart New York a couple of hours later than original itinerary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim The Scot Posted May 16, 2023 #43 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Did a bit of tracking and Discovery left Freeport at 5-30ish yesterday and is en route to New York a day and 13 hr sailing away so it looks like South Carolina which should have been the 1st port of call will now be the last port after NY before heading back to Port Canaveral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink15 Posted May 17, 2023 #44 Share Posted May 17, 2023 So will they still be in NY on the advertised days/times? There will be a lot of people who have booked things independently who will be cross if they can't move them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink15 Posted May 28, 2023 #48 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Itinery has been reversed this coming week as well. Freeport first, Charleston last, do gain a few more hours in NY. It's because the gulf stream is very strong and we would be battling against it if Freeport was last, this way we go with it. Saw the rocket launch from the ship last Sunday! An unexpected extra! had to do immigration again at key West as we had been out of the country but was done on ship quite quick, although I think there are only about 1100 passengers on. Maybe more coming today as it is bank holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim The Scot Posted June 3, 2023 #49 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Cant say I,m happy that the itinerary has been reversed for the sake of a few hours more in NY.Instead of what should have been 2 sea days on tracking the ship its now over 3 days. Port Canaveral to NY = 1 day 16hrs and NY to Charleston =1 day 12hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIX70 Posted June 4, 2023 #50 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Good morning everyone. We're booked on the American Dream cruise departing next weekend (11th June). We start and finish in Port Canaveral and I have a question for those who may have recently done a similar trip. Marella are not offering any disembarkation day excursions online (says ask the shorex team onboard): what do you think the chances are of the ship offering a trip to Kennedy Space Center on the day we disembark? Our flight back to Gatwick doesn't leave until nearly 6pm so I think we've got plenty of time, but I don't want to organise something ourselves if they're likely to offer it. Thoughts please? TIA!
