Booking your stateroom and enjoying your cruise is easy. It’s much harder to get everyone you’re cruising with to the Port Canaveral cruise terminal comfortably and on time without spending a fortune. You need to book a hotel and arrive a day early in order to make sure weather or other problems don’t cause you to miss your cruise, then arrange transportation from the hotel to Port Canaveral. Then after your cruise you need to arrange a way back to the airport.
We’re guessing you want to do this without spending as much money on your “before and after cruise needs” as you spent on your cruise. To get to the cruise terminal as inexpensively as possible, you NEED a Go Port Snooze Cruise Package. It removes the hassle of booking services separately and saves you time as well as money.
Flying In? You NEED Transportation from the Airport
When you book a cruise, your airfare and transportation to Port Canaveral aren’t included. You can book through the cruise line, but the markup is steep. You can try putting it together yourself, but hotels near Port Canaveral don’t usually have an airport shuttle, and a hotel near the airport that has an airport shuttle usually doesn’t offer a shuttle to Port Canaveral.
Coordinating your hotel and transportation takes time and money that you would rather spend on your cruise. Instead, let Go Port do the work! With our Fly Snooze Cruise package you book your hotel, airport transportation, and shuttle to Port Canaveral in one seamless reservation. You and everyone in your group can be checked into one of our partner hotels close to the Orlando International Airport (MCO) just minutes after catching the regularly scheduled shuttle from the airport, and you’ll get to your Port Canaveral cruise terminal with plenty of time to board your ship the next day. There are also options for cruisers flying into Sanford Airport (SFB) and Melbourne Airport (MLB).
Driving In? You NEED a Place to Park
If you live in places as far apart as Virginia and Tennessee, driving to the Port Canaveral area can save you money on airfare and let you pack everything you need for your cruise without worrying about baggage fees. You’ll also have the flexibility to explore Central Florida’s attractions before or after your trip.
Since you can’t bring your car on the ship, finding a secure place to park is essential. Go Port offers an affordable parking solution for Carnival Mardi Gras cruisers. With our Carnival Mardi Gras parking package, you can park for as low as $7.50 per day at Go Port Plaza. This includes round-trip shuttle service to and from the Port Canaveral cruise terminal. Our lot is well-lit and monitored 24/7 by video surveillance, ensuring your car is safe while you enjoy your cruise. We also offer Snooze Park Cruise packages, which include your hotel stay, parking, and transfers in one seamless booking.
You NEED to Relax
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve arrived by plane or by car, once you’re in the Port Canaveral area it’s time to relax. Many of Go Port’s hotel partners offer extra amenities, such as:
- Restaurant or bar on site for an easy meal after traveling
- Pool or hot tub for a nice relaxing dip
- Fitness center for a quick workout
- Spacious rooms with free Wi-Fi
If you arrive early enough, staying in an Orlando airport hotel offers plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options nearby. Or, take some time to explore the things to do near Port Canaveral before it’s time to board.
We have a package for every cruiser’s budget, and with a Go Port hotel package you can relax since all of your on-shore cruise needs, and everyone in your group, are taken care of for one low price.
You NEED to Get Some Sleep
If all you want to do is rest the day before you embark on your voyage, then Go Port has economical hotel packages just for that. Snooze Cruise packages in Titusville, Cocoa, and Cocoa Beach are near Port Canaveral, allowing you to sleep later. Our hotel partners near Orlando International Airport get you checked in just minutes after the regularly scheduled shuttle picks you up. You can sleep easily, wake up and enjoy a complimentary breakfast at a hotel partner that offers one or at a nearby restaurant, and catch the shuttle out to Port Canaveral well rested and well fed. It’s the best way to embark on your cruise.
You NEED to Get to the Pier and Back to the Airport
We know that your number one goal after booking your cruise is to get yourself and everyone onboard the ship for your marvelous cruise vacation. Having our cruise experts handle your travel needs ashore saves you time and money, and takes the stress out of getting to the ship.
Included in your Go Port package is transportation for everyone in your party to any Port Canaveral cruise terminal. A shuttle will arrive at your hotel, or Go Port parking lot, at the scheduled pick up time to transport you to the port in air conditioned comfort — getting you to your ship on time!
When you return, you simply take the continuously running shuttle from Port Canaveral back to the airport or Go Port’s parking lot. These shuttles run on a first come first-serve basis. If you have a flight before noon, you’ll want to consider upgrading to express transportation to get to the airport sooner.
Book early with Go Port for a hassle-free start to your cruise and a seamless return!
