JohninDC Posted July 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Welcome to the boards! Orlando, where you will likely fly into, is about a 1-hour drive from Port Canaveral. If you fly in late in the day your best bet is to stay in Orlando near the airport and then shuttle/Uber to the port in the morning. If you fly in early enough, you can use a one-way car rental or shuttles/Uber to get to your Port Canaveral hotel. In the PC area we like the Homewood Suites, but there are dozens of hotels to choose from - info on your budget and who's travelling will help the suggestions to be closer to your target.

celestialcruiser Posted July 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We have booked TownePlace Suites in Port Canaveral. They have a special cruise rate where you show your boarding pass at check in. The rate is about $200 incl. taxes. Seems like one of the least expensive in the area and it is a newer hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand and Seas Posted July 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2023 We rented a car at MCO (Orlando airport) and then returned it at the Port. There is a rental return right at the Port for Enterprise, Alamo & and one other? They have a quick and easy shared shuttle to your ship. There are a lot of hotels in the area close to the port. We enjoyed staying at the Cocoa Beach Best Western. It's just a few miles from the port. (There are actually a couple of fun places to eat at the port!) Our hotel was right on the beach and had a decent free breakfast😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celestialcruiser Posted July 4, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Yes, that is the correct Towne Place hotel. Look for the cruiser promotions or specials. Edited July 4, 2023 by celestialcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On return we booked a shuttle back to Orlando. This is kinda what we did. Since there were 6 of us we had Cruise Control pick up at MCO then drop off at Home2Suites. Rented a car thru Costco from Budget to use our 2nd pre-cruise day to get to KSC. DH dropped us off at the port terminal and all our luggage day of cruise. He then took the car back to Budget and got a shuttle back to port. He was gone no more than about 25 min. Cruise Control picked us up cruise end day and back to MCO. This worked out so extremely easy for our 4 adults and two kids. Loved Home2Suites !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you may have booked a hotel in Cocoa Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
