brn2crz Posted July 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2006 This is an old,but pretty good break down of most of the hotels. http://www.dcltribute.com/lodging/ Radisson,and Ron Jons are the most popular, on this board at least. Also there is a new one right next to Radisson which if not open yet,is opening pretty soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZigNKat Posted July 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi! We haven't been down there in a while, but we used to stay at the Baymont in Titusville -- a little north of Port Canaveral. Inexpensive, clean, with a Cracker Barrell across the street for dinner/breakfast. The Port is only about 20 minutes away. Happy Cruising!!

2boxers Posted July 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Have stayed at the Radisson in the past. It was very nice and we loved the pool area. They also offer a free shuttle to the port with free parking. I have been reading mixed reviews lately about it. The food is very expensive. There is (was) a McDonalds across the street and that was about it five years ago. I don't know what has been built up since. In August we are staying at the brand new Residence Inn. Good rate which includes a breakfast buffet. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercetc4 Posted July 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2006 we have stayed at the radisson at the port once- very nice but price has gone up so we are going to stay at residence inn right next door for less- we are doing a 2 bedroom / 2 bath with family room for 150 and sharing it with another couple so are both paying 75 per couple for what sounds like a really nice accomodation- will let you know after we get back in oct 06 how it is......

jetlady Posted July 10, 2006 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2006 we just stayed at the Ramada Inn in titusville. not bad, but except 4 star. Probally 15 minutes from the ship. we got caught in the shuttle taffic so it took us a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phopte Posted July 10, 2006 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you can, try not to stay at Cocoa Beach or anywhere on the island. It is much cheaper to stay in the city of Cocoa on the mainland and it is only a few minutes to Port Canaveral. We stayed at the Cocoa Holiday Inn Express and I think it was around $89.00 plus taxes and included their continental breakfast. Don't be fooled, it is a pretty good breakfast with boiled eggs, cereals, fruit, to die for cinammon rolls :D , assorted other pastries, bagels, etc., juices, coffee and milk. In any event, you will have plenty of time to get to the ship early even if you do go over to Ron Jon's and check out the beach wear and T-shirts (some of the coolest around in my opinion.)

TampaBayGirl Posted July 10, 2006 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2006 My BF and I are booked on the July 31st sailing on the Sovereign. It will be my 3rd time sailing her, but my first since the renovations. I'm excited! In any case, we're staying at the Holiday Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront Resort for 2 nights before the cruise. They have some great advertised specials right now. Sun - Thurs $79 Fri - Sun $89 www.hi-cocoa.com 800-206-2747 321-783-2271 They offer free parking during cruises! Transporation to the port is offered via the Cocoa Beach Shuttle (321-784-4144) for $4 per person. I just found that out today by calling the Cocoa Beach Chamber. Take Care. Have a great cruise.

PVDCruiser Posted July 10, 2006 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Do not go to the Radisson. The hotel was dirty (the same room service trash that was there when we checked in was there when we checked out), my bed needed replacement, and the shuttle was very disorganized.

KBD1516 Posted July 10, 2006 #12 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hello, CC friends - I need to know some hotel choices for our one night stay before our Sov. of the Seas out of Port Canaveral. Thanks so much! Have a great day. Elizabeth Here are 2 good links to information at Port Canaveral. www.portcanaveral.org Thisone has a webcam and lots of info. www.space-coast.com This one has a link on the front page (on the right hand side) to park and cruise packages. This brochure lists most of the hotels and their policies including parking, breakfast etc. You choice of hotel will depend on your needs, whether you have a car to park etc. Parking at the port is $12 a day, payable as you enter the parking area. I hope this helps and gives you much of the information you are seeking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! Have a great day. Elizabeth We stayed at the Doubletree Hotel Cocoa Beach-Oceanfront in May of this year. It is located at 2080 North Atlantic Avenue. The hotel and beach were very nice and it is near the Port. You could see the Sovereign from the hotel. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodad Posted July 10, 2006 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you do end up staying in Cocoa beach check out Grills for dinner. It is on the water near the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted July 11, 2006 #19 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If you are taking a shuttle van service from Orlando then you can also stay at any number of hotels near the Orlando Airport, then have your shuttle service pick you up the morning of the cruise to take you to the port. The hotels close to the port jack up their rates the night before the cruises and availability can get difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinala Posted July 12, 2006 #22 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm thinking on booking at the Radisson ($169/night) but there are quite a few negative reviews here, and on another website. Has anyone stayed there and can give me some details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnsawyer Posted July 12, 2006 #23 Share Posted July 12, 2006 The Radisson gets excellent reviews on this site overall. Also, check tripadvisor.com. While it looks like a really nice hotel, it's a ways to the beach. If the beach is what you want, the Radisson probably isn't for you. But, have seen photos of the nice pool. Transportation and parking is included, so that is another plus if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted July 13, 2006 #24 Share Posted July 13, 2006 We stayed in the Radisson last Nov and are staying again this Nov. We will not however use the shuttle again. Very disorganized and I've posted on this on other threads so I'm not going into it here. The hotel itself was fine and we enjoyed the bar and pool area. Our room was clean. The restaurant is not great for dinner, but breakfast was fine. We just plan on going elsewhere for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adbnva Posted July 16, 2006 #25 Share Posted July 16, 2006 tampa baygirl, we just booked the holiday inn for $89.99 for sept 15. thanks. other hotels offered free shuttle & cost more, but we like that art shuttle because its @ the port when you get in. also we don't need a fancy breakfast before a cruise. thanks a bunch.
