Also interested in that question. Anyone?

We would like to take a cab to city center, cost? Safety?

Walk around on our own. An hour enough time to see center, umbrella st. Pink st, etc?

Cab back to port, to enjoy the pool & explore Tiano bay. Back on ship by noon.

We just booked this hotel for 1 night pre-cruise in April.  Now I am having doubts.  I researched all the hotels in the port area and choose the Radisson because it was at least below $300.00.  I can't believe how high the prices are at the rest of the hotels in that area.  The poster above mentioned Home2Suites, but that one is $400 for 1 night - with either a Senior or AAA rate.  We don't have to stay that close to the port, so any suggestions would be appreciated.  (We are driving up from South Florida, so maybe even Melbourne?)

Prices are crazy for one night stays. The prices at cocoa beach are also high, we had one on hold, as I researched further, there reviews are just as bad. Due to being under $300 we are stayin with Radisson at the port. Hopefully 1 night is manageable. It is good to know the cab to ship is about a mile so won't cost much. Then once we board the ship, we will be living the good life😄

We are also looking at this hotel and like you am concerned about the reviews. 

Would you please come back and give us your thoughts after your stay?  

I will definitely try and remember to do that. 

We used them many years ago. Island tour It was a large group on a full bus. They were great!

Following. I hope someone can answer your question.

Any info on was there cabs at the port that can drive you to town? Easy to catch a cab in town to drive you back to the port? Cab prices? Did you feel safe at all times waling to town and around town?

Thank you!!

Thank you for the review & pictures. Looking forward to more. We are leaving Maine next month to experience this great ship.

Thank you for your responses. Since its just one night, clean & safe, I will over look the other things because of the price. We will take a taxi early the next morning to the ship.

We made reservations at this hotel in Port Canaveral a few months ago. I have since been reading horrid reviews.  I got it at half the price of what the surrounding hotels are now, that you all recommend.  I can't pay $300-$400 a night. We just need a place to stay night before cruise, but want to be safe & clean. Has any of you recently stayed there and is it ok? or is it as bad as I have been reading. The location is perfect for us. Thank you for anyone who has an opinion  on this hotel who recently stayed there.

Thank you for your input!!!

I now realize what I need to do. I am going to move the flight they scheduled me for, to an earlier afternoon flight so I won't freak out about missing it. If we get there early and they have seats on the morning flight & they let us on, all the better, bonus. I don't want to stress after an overdue relaxing cruise. Thanks!!

Our airline just changed my flight to one that is way too late for us. Our ship says arrives in Brooklyn at 8am on a Thursday. We do self-disembark. Can we grab a cab and get to Laguardia airport for an 11:28 flight? Being there 2 hrs early we need to be at airport by 9:28. Nervous cutting it that close but hate to wait till end of day to fly out.   Thank you

Several years back. We were at Eagle Beach and spur of the moment rented a jet ski on our own right there on the beach. Fun experience.

thank you

Thank you for the review. I appreciate everyone who takes the time to give a review. Happy New Year all!

Yes. Do it all the time

Thank you guys for confirming that.

Just to confirm the bottles of water we get at the bar with our drink package can be taken off the ship for shore excursions?

following, also wondering the same thing.

To answer your question water and cost, in the last few cruises, we have had distilled water left in the room daily, and there was no charge.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I couldn't find anything on the special needs form regarding CPAP.  It's on my to do list to call them and ask. What do they charge for a gallon of distilled water?

We get off MSC on a Thursday morning. I heard this is at the Brooklyn terminal. 

Our flight is out of JFK just after 1pm. Trying to figure out our options to get to the airport JFK and what they may cost.

Taxi, Uber, a shuttle or what is available? And if they are readily available. We always do self disembark early. 

We recently booked & are eligible for the $50 OBC. It did not show up, so I called. I was told it will not show up until we are on board. This makes me nervous because I feel I should be able to see it now.

Do they have movies outside any evenings on the big screen.

Hoping they have good coffee & chocolate croissants in the morning. Anyone seen them?

the buffet is no longer self serve.  They now have crew serving everyone. We also got a call that the Haven VIP party with the Captain tonight has been cancelled.

Thank you for any updates. We sail on the Pearl next month.  I am so looking forward to it but, Still deciding to cancel or not due to underlying health conditions.

Curious if your cruise is full or if you notice a lot had cancelled?
