GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Our cruise leaves out of Port Canaveral on a Sunday. We plan to leave Saturday morning and drive down. That should get us there mid-afternoon. I'd like a fairly nice hotel with a pool and perhaps a restaurant just to make our lives easy. I know I can check online, but any personal recommendations or places to avoid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 The campground on the jetty in tcd's report, is that port canavrel? I swore he said cabins were cheap and on the beach? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It's just for a night though, so I'm thinking a hotel would be easiest. If we were staying longer, I'd do the cabins for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Our son and family stayed in Cocoa Beach, I'm waiting for him to get back to me with the name. Some have parking deals cheaper than the Port and they take you to the ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 That would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
We4mickey 6 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 We stayed at the four points sheraton. I honestly don't know if there was a pool there or not, as we arrived rather late and left early the next morning. The rooms were very nice. Half of the hotel is a beach store and they did have a restaurant and starbucks there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I second the four points sheraton, we stayed there the same night We4mickey did. It includes parking for the cruise, and they shuttle you to the cruise terminal. It is right next door to Ron Jons, and a short walk to the beach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thanks! I'll check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It includes parking for the cruise, and they shuttle you to the cruise terminal. It is right next door to Ron Jons, and a short walk to the beach. I also assume they shuttle you back? And it's not one of those on the hour shuttles? I saw a giant billboard for them on I-95 yesterday advertising the parking. Sounds like a great choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 No the shuttle is waiting on you when you disembark, it is dedicated for the hotel. It did take two shuttles worth when we left as there were a lot of us on this particular cruise, and we had an ECV on board which took more room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks! I think that's what I'll book. The parking is a huge selling point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 PS - Just saw the cost of parking at the Port. It's the same as the hotel cost. Well worth it all of a sudden for the 7-day cruise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 GDF- If you stay at Cocoa Beach, remember to bring Z's boogie board. But be careful, there are real waves on the Florida east coast. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikmouse 3 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Enjoy your cruise! Off topic, but does anyone know if there is wi-fi at Port Canaveral? My SIL wants to take her Itouch and photos before we leave on our cruise, and was wondering about wi-fi. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
