Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral hotels
Port Canaveral is a great port and most cruisers favorite port. It’s easy to get in and out of, it’s not crowded and it’s just an all around great port.
The only downside about Port Canaveral is the location. Located 45 minutes from Orlando, you have to find transportation from the airport if you fly. Most taxis will not bring you to Cape Canaveral / Cocoa Beach.

It’s recommended to always stay the night before your cruise, so here is a number of hotels you can stay at the night before your cruise, and enjoy the beach while you’re there. Also be sure to eat at Grillz, my favorite. 🙂
