We just got off a very short cruise and wanted to share our experiences with both the ship and the port.   We flew Southwest the night before (Thursday) and stayed at the Best Western about 10ish minutes from the airport (FLL). The room was about $120 after taxes and fees with an additional $25 deposit. The hotel offered a free shuttle from the airport and a shuttle to the cruise port for $15 per person. We opted for rideshares instead of the shuttle because reviews had said that they waited a while for the airport shuttle at night. The rideshare was around $15.   The room was pretty ..read more

My husband, boys (8&12) and I are sailing on the Vision on Halloween this year. After watching a few tour videos, I'm a little apprehensive about a lack of entertainment, especially for the kids. No mini-golf, water slides, flow rider... What is there to do on our 5 sea days? They have already stated that they didn't want to spend all their time at the kids club.  ..read more

In my excitement to jump on a Casino Royale offer for Utopia, I booked a 3-night cruise on the back of a 4-night cruise on Allure before realizing that Utopia is in Port Canaveral and I’m getting off of Allure in Miami. Has anyone attempted this before? I realize how risky it is, especially given all of the moving parts it would take just to get to Orlando before the hour ride from Orlando to the port. But is it possible? Obviously, the first obstacle is getting off the ship first thing in the morning. Previous research has lead me to believe it’s possible to be off and clear of customs by 7:3 ..read more

Found this site very helpful for us, so wanted to pass along my thoughts/experiences in case it helps anyone in the booking/research process! Family of 4 (2 adults, 15 year old son, 11 year old son). My husband and I cruised once back in 2004, but that was on NCL and soooo long ago I'd consider us all first timers haha. Sailed out of Cape Liberty with stops at Port Canaveral, Nassau, Coco Cay. CAPE LIBERTY- I was excited about the embarkation process because I had heard so many good things about this port. Maybe I was confused but what is the point of a check in time??? I stayed up until midni ..read more
