The Best of "I Work in Port Canaveral" (Updated Jul 23 07)

After watching the “I work in Port Canaveral” thread grow to 70+ pages of fantastic information, I thought I would try to condense most that knowledge into one place. Here’s my attempt at bringing 9 months of posting into one – special thanks to Preston (pbscap), Shirley (snelsonbrown) and Mike (mikerpsj) for all of the helpful advice on the Cape Canaveral / Cocoa Beach area – it’s been a great help for my May 2008 cruise. All of the below info has been cut and pasted from that thread, so if you notice any errors or omissions please let me know!

**This post has been updated with info as of July 23rd, 2007.

Closest Hotels to Port Canaveral

All below 3 Cape Canaveral hotels are about 2 miles from the port and offer rooms with a view of the port, where you will be able to see the cruise ships in the morning. Be sure and sign up for the port shuttles. None of these 3 hotels are on the beach nor is it within walking distance of the beach (5 min cab ride). If you want the beach close, look for a hotel in Cocoa Beach – beachfront hotels are posted further down.

Other Hotels that have been recommended on forum:

Most other hotels will let you leave your car but call and double check. For instance, Wakulla Suites will not let you leave your car.

• Courtyard by Marriott
  
• Holiday Inn Express (not to be confused with the Holiday Inn) - 5775 N Atlantic Ave (A1A) in Cocoa Beach. 321-868-2525.
  
• Comfort Inn and Suites - $3 shuttle to the port (Cocoa Beach Shuttle).

Other recommended Hotels that are beachfront: Days Inn at Cocoa Beach, Best Western, Inn of Cocoa Beach, Hilton, Doubletree

Port Canaveral Parking

• Parking at the port is $12.00 a day (that’s per 24 hours) or $84.00 a week – paid up front, cash or credit card. There are no other payment plans.
  
• There are no other parking options available in or around Cape Canaveral except for parking at your hotel if allowed.
  
• There is a six-level parking garage for Cruise terminal 10, all other options are open-air parking. Which ships use terminal 10? Go here: http://www.portcanaveral.org/cruising/terminals.php

Traveling to and from Orlando (MCO) airport and to the port

When you exit the airport you will merge onto the Highway 528 (also called Beachline 528) and travel about 45 miles to Cape Canaveral. There is one toll to pay which is $1.25. There are no restaurants along the way until the highway ends and becomes a 4-lane surface street. Travel time: 45 mins.

Look here for a huge list of transportation options: http://www.portcanaveral.org/cruising/groundtransport.php

Car Rental

All agree that the cheapest option is to rent a car one-way from the airport, drive to the port, drop luggage/family off at port, drop rental car off and take rental car shuttle back to the port. Repeat in reverse for your post-cruise trip back to the airport. Budget, Thrifty, Avis and then Hertz all have drop off locations and free round trip shuttles very close to the port (companies are listed in order of closeness to the port). These four places are open on Sundays and their port shuttles start early in the morning until the afternoon.

National does not have shuttle service to the port. Enterprise has a location on Merritt Island which is a barrier island between the mainland and the beach. They will shuttle you both ways during normal business hours which are M-f 9-6 and Sat 9-12. The closest Dollar car rental is on South Babcock in Melbourne which is about 20 to 25 mins away from the port. Your best bets are Budget, Thrifty, Avis and Hertz.

Look here for car rental coupons and discount codes:

Can I walk to the port from my hotel? It’s about 2 miles from the closest hotel (Raddison or Country Inns and Suites), along a highway with no sidewalk. Not recommended!

After car rental, the next recommended alternative to a taxi is a shuttle service.

Nice work on the summary. Just a correction for your next revission, Hertz is no longer the farthest from the port but is actually the closest with their location that they opened in late May. :)

Wow! How nice of you to do that. Unfortunately I am cruising out of Miami next year. Do you think you could do the same thing for Miami;)

Seriously, you did a lot of work and it looks great. Too bad there's not that much info for Miami.

Thanks VERY much for posting all that - it will be a huge help for our upcoming Disney cruise :D

Nikki,

Here is some more information you will have when you update again

Wow Shirley you have been busy! I'll include all of it in my next update, as always thank you!

Wow Shirley you have been busy! I'll include all of it in my next update, as always thank you!

Nikki, I took the best of yours and Preston and then added a great deal more and posted it on the Disney Board - This is so that everyone at least will have an insight to Brevard County instead of coming over here not knowing very much. I still have more for you, but been under the weather for a couple of days so haven't gone through it.

What you did is not an easy job sweetie and it was just so nice of you to do it. I am trying to make one up for my hometown of Key West but haven't got very far also.

Anyhow take care and have a great and smily week.

Always

Shirley

Just a big thank you for putting this all together. We sailed on the Mariner back in 05 and I wish I had this list put together back then. It took me 6 months to learn everything you have here!!!! Awesome information from everyone who contributed.

I'm sure this is a RARE instance but the question was raised regarding "was it safe to leave my car at the hotel during the cruise." One of the people in our Cruise Critic group used Cruise Parking at the Radisson in 05. When he returned from the cruise, someone had thrown a rock through his back window and removed a suitcase he had left." Needless to say, he had a fun drive back up to Richmond, Virginia without a back window!

However, immediately realized the mistake he made. He left the suitcase in plain sight so anyone could see it. All it had were dirty clothes but it was a hassle. The bottom line is don't leave anything of value in your car or anything someone might think is valuable in plain sight...and you should do fine. Common sense stuff!! The seven other CC members in our group who used cruise parking had no problems, and have done it a couple of time since.

Shirley, on that link I emailed you right after it showed "parking - fee", the next in alphabetical order was "pets - fee".

I assume you got my email with the link, if you still have it you might check it out. It did show a fee for pets.

Shirley, Preston, Mike, jantra (for taking the time to weed through everything)...everyone who did so much research for all of us cruisers...

This info is just wonderful...thank you so much!! :D

...I wish I would've known about this thread before I spent 4 days reading all 84 pages of the other thread...however, I learned so much more by reading all 1600+ posts!

I hope you realize that so many people/couples/families will have a much better vacation/cruise because of your efforts! You're awesome!

- Rhonda (KC Cruiseaddict)

I haven't had time to even begin to check out any of the info/sites, but I know there will be answers to questions that will come to mind. THANKS in advance to everyone from this 1st time cruiser! :D

Haven't had a chance to check out all this info but I know as questions pop to mind, I will probably find an answer at some these websites. THANKS in advance from this 1st time cruiser! :D

I sent you an email but thought I would also post this answer.

OK the deal is that the pet MUST BE under 50 lbs and there is a fee of $50.00 which half is refundable and then it is $10.00 extra fee for each day the pet is there.

Hope that will answer your question.

lololol as I said back...the reason I had originally sent you the link was because you were checking to see if they tacked on a parking fee and resort fee as it said on that list of features....I never had a question about the pet fee. :confused:

I could care less if they have a pet fee. It was the above poster who was concerned about pets being in the unit.

I guess pet and parking....maybe since they both start with a P you got confused that my question was about the parking fee and that's why I sent you the link...to show you there was a PARKING fee (not pet fee) and Resort fee shown for that hotel. I didnt want to pay a fee to park my car.

but thanks for the information....maybe it will help someone else. I was like lololololol about the pet information you sent. scratching my head as they say. Your business obviously is going well and you are just busy, dont worry, Im now at the Radisson, I dont need parking information any more. but lololololol on the pet info.

OK I just I just spoke to Margie from Holiday Inn and her answer is as follows:

There is NO parking fee now BUT if there is like a shuttle launch etc, cars can not be left while you cruise AND also there is NO tourist tax and hasn't been for over a year for both your questions.

I don't know how I got so mixed up, but hope that this will answer your question and if you have further questions, you are most welcomed to call Margie direct at the hotel.

Glad I could start your day with laughter :-)
