Lou,

Go to the website for the Orlando Airport, and under Ground Transportation, you'll see a list of shuttle and limo services and the areas they service.

Enjoy your cruise. I was on the Zaandam in December, before she went into drydock, and she's a lovely ship. The Euro-Top mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets will make you want to stay in bed all day. We had good food and service in the dining room.

Try Blue Dolphin, they were very prompt and accomodating even tho we had to wait for my DIL's flight which was late. Charge was $55 for 4 people.

Hi lou..

We are sailing on the Zaandam the following week. Our plan is to arrive in Orlando one day early. We have a rental car arranged and we are driving to Cocoa Beach to our hotel there. Our plans include a visit to the Kennedy Space Center. This is nearby and an excellent attraction.

A popular casual dining spot is this one:

We will drive our rental car to the pier on Saturday where Avis has an office.


We have booked our return trip to the airport with Art's Shuttle:

Hi: We will also be on the 2/26 cruise on the Zaandam. I sure hope all the threat of virus is gone. Enjoy your cruise.

Now all of you remember to wash your hands!!!! LOL. We don't want any germs left on board when we embark on 3/5. The ship should be fine since it will be coming out of drydock. Just hope the passengers on the 2/26 cruise will be healthy when they board. I have disposable gloves & breathing barriers, ZICAM, disinfecting cloths, hand gel & plenty of soap already set aside. We went on a Panama Canal cruise a few years back and it seemed that everyone came down with some type of cough that lingered for 3 weeks after. Don't want to have that happen ever again.
