Thanks so much for everyone's advice. We have decided to rent two vans. Everyone talked about comfort and safety and that was a key point. So just wanted to say thanks to everyone and I appreciated all your comments.:)

Thanks so much for all the feed back so far!!! I am kind of leaning more towards the two mini vans. We have enough drivers and I think we will be driving at night so the little ones can sleep while we drive and I think with that alone, the two mini vans would be a better fit for us. You even made a great point about the luggage room. Do you think that we would spend the same or more in gas getting two vans?

My family will be driving to Orlando for vacation to Universal and a cruise and there will be 6 adults and 4 kids. Everyone on here is so great about advice and is so helpful I am asking what would you do or recommend. The question is, would you rent a 12 passenger van which we know has no luggage storage to speak of or would you rent two mini vans where we would be more comfortable and have more luggage space. Any feed back would be great. My family is torn between the both. Thanks I really appreciate it!!! I forgot to mention that we will be driving from Omaha Ne so it will be about a 21 hour drive. Thanks!!!

In March 2019 we will be going on a cruise and plan on staying couple of days afterwards. We will be cruising out of Port Canaveral. Can anyone recommend a hotel that offers shuttle service from hotel to pier and then from pier to hotel?

Thanks for the info!!!!:D

In March 2019 we will be going on a cruise out of Port Canaveral and when we return, we were thinking of taking the kiddos to Universal Studios for a couple of days. Has anyone done this and if you could tell me if you got a hotel package deal with tickets and how you got from the pier to the hotel etc? Any advice you can send this way, we would appreciate it. There will be 13 adults in our group.

Thanks!

We are going on a Carnival Cruise in March of 2019 out of Orlando. Has anyone gone to Universal Studios after their cruise? I was wondering if you stayed at a hotel with a package deal for tickets? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Does Universal offer a group discount? there are 13 people in our group.

Thanks!:)

there are 8 adults going and 4 kids. 3 of them are in school. one is 4th grade, 3rd grade and kindergarten and a 4 year old. the itinerary is Epic- Great Stirrup Cay and Sunshine-Amber Cove and Grand Cayman. We are flying from Omaha to Port Canaveral (Alegiant Air). We would be getting 5 rooms.

I am planning our 40th wedding anniversary and I have decided to celebrate it with my family and grandkids on a cruise. So I need some advice on which one to pick! I have it narrowed down between Carnival Sunshine and also Norwegian Epic.

I have to plan this of course over spring break because of my grandchildren in school. The Sunshine would depart the week before spring break and the Epic departs the week of spring break. Any feed back you can give me would be deeply appreciated. We normally travel on Carnival but because of the dates that are involved, I am trying to decide which one to pick from. I know that both have some kind of promotions going on now.:)

I am going on a cruise in September out of Port Canaveral. I have been reading all the different reviews about all the different places to park. Can you please tell me what all of your past experiences are and who you would recommend? My husband wants the most easiest and quickest way to park. We plan on getting to the port around 11:00. Thanks so much for all or your help, we really appreciate it!

We are going on a cruise in January and flying into Houston International and was wondering the best way to get to Galveston. Their will be 6 adults and 3 kids. We are arriving a day early and staying in Galveston. Can anyone give me some feed back on the best place to stay in Galveston for a large group? Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.
