If anyone drives in and want to park at an independent lot I recommend Park Port Orlando. We've used them in the past and they were AWESOME.
@faithwilley3171 Жыл бұрын
Some of the hotels offer parking as well. Don't quote me, but I believe the Radisson charges $7/day and offers a shuttle to the port. Country Inn has a sleep and park special also.

Hello you crazy cruisers !!!🚢🚢 We love it just as much as you. In April of this year we cruised out of Cape Canaveral with Carnival and had no issues ! Flew in on Southwest the morning of and took the Go Port bus to the terminal everything went smoothly . It was our first time there so we did not know our way around but everyone was so helpful. Love watching your videos !! 😍 Enjoy your next trip .

I like how you pointed out many options for my favorite port. We rent a beach house a stones throw from the port when we cruise. Also have utilized shuttles from Orlando to a hotel, stay a night and shuttle to port. When done cruising, another stay then they shuttle you back to the airport

Port Canaveral is our "home" port living about 5 hours north. We did use GoPort for a stay and park one cruise and found it surprisingly smooth. For about just a little more than parking at the port for a 7 day cruise, a hotel in Titusville and parking in their lot in Merritt Island, and a shuttle to the port. It was well run and wait times for the shuttles was reasonable.

My wife and I are blessed by living only 20 minutes away from Port Canaveral. We are frequent floaters and take several 3 and 4 day cruises each year. One HUGE benefit PC offers is the chance to view a rocket launch from the Cape. They happen every 2 - 3 days with the SpaceEx launches. Also in the works at PC is a Seaquarium, an extension of the Brevard Zoo, which should be operational in a year or two. It will be just a stone's throw away from the port and will offer the chance to see manatees, alligators, and all the other fish and wildlife here in FL. Also, highly recommend Grills! It's two minutes walking from Cruise Term #1`. My wife and I frequent this place probably once a month for dinner. We like going on Sunday's about 3:00 PM, get an outdoor table, and watch as all the cruise ships depart the port on their voyages. Great food!!! So much to see and do in Port Canaveral & Cocoa Beach!

Disabled travelers needing some help with this port please 🙏 We will have a person with handi placard from home state (not Fl)...most likely rental car, so no lifts and things of that nature. Do they qualify for the free parking or no? It's very confusing and our first time navigating with limited mobilty and Port Canerval. I'm hoping some lovely viewers of this channel can help us figure out the best options. Thx!!
@SharonatSeaTravel Жыл бұрын
From what I am aware of, the placard in the windshield alone will not make you eligible for free parking. Besides a few specific Florida exemptions, the vehicle must be modified for handicapped use. You might want to call the port with any other specific question about parking options. www.portcanaveral.com/Cruise/Port-Cruise-Facts Sorry to not be more helpful.

Don't have an exact amount Ken, but we found it was cheaper in the Canaveral area because more people were renting cars post cruise and returning them to the airport .
