all sailings on all cruiselines from the US still require testing…. Don’t let these tests keep you from cruising!!!

Daytona Beach Shores and Port Orange are almost exactly an hour from Canaveral. We like to stay at the Residence Inn in Daytona Beach Shores. Don’t stay in Daytona Beach because some of those can be sketchy! Make sure you are staying in the ones listed above which are farther South than Daytona.

Which direction will you be coming from?? I-95 north or south or coming from the Orlando area?

Any local will tell you in Miami to park at the port!!! Unless you are feeling lucky…🥺🥺

We love Royal Caribbean….

The testing has NOT be dropped for any sailings from the US. I hate when articles are published with misleading headlines! Some people who never bother to read the actual article are going to not test and will miss their cruise!!

We sometimes book onboard to get their OBC and then transfer it to our travel agent and also get his perks…..

They usually want you out of your cabin by 8:00-8:30!! They need the extra time to turn the ship around…

We book Boardwalk balconies quite a lot. We usually book a cabin that is about halfway since it is such a long walk all the way to the end. As far as noise the only time I would even notice it in the evenings was when a show was going on or maybe a movie. All was over around 10:00-10:30. We enjoyed sitting on our balcony and watching all the sights and sounds. I was even able to video the Johnny Rockets crew doing their dance on the Boardwalk several times though out the day…

Definitely be aware of the arcade charges……I don’t believe it can be restricted…

when do you sail??

The Hampton Inn Brickell is a great choice. It is in a very safe and clean part of town. We enjoyed our stay there very much!!

when we stayed there (pre-covid) we ate at the sports bar two,doors down from the hotel. It was very good…

I don’t know what time you are arriving but since you are taking the big risk of flying in the day of I would probably stick with the RCC shuttle. However other options are: *one way car rental *Uber *Cortrans Shuttle *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation

Country Inn & Suites is also a great choice for families and they have a great shuttle…

Having everything printed definitely speeds things along…..

We love Port Canaveral just because w heave sailed from there so many times it seems like a second home to us….

you may have to tell them to wait and use the really cool ones on the ship… 😎😎

Just saw a post where someone said the reviews give this company 1.5 stars. So I would read the reviews before I counted on them for testing…

We never have luck trying to log onto the NAVICA app so….we just go straight to Emed and log in there and it gives us the ability to put in our NAVICA log on information from there. So I guess you can do it either way….

Check in for our Sept. 11th Harmony cruise is July 28th. You will find your checkin date on the app. Just click onto the person icon at the top and you will find your date…

yes!! The NAAT test is accepted for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated as it is a rapid PCR

So sorry I misread your post. I was just afraid you were unaware and would miss any decent check in times… I apologize….

45 days before your cruise you should have done the online checkin, gotten your Set Sail pass and selected your checkin time for the terminal. Since you are sailing next month have you not done all of this??
