misty57 Posted November 1, 2010 #901 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Just a quick question about transportation.. I don't have time to look through all the posts to find the info We are staying near downtown disney for two nights in Feb and sailing out of Port Canaveral afterward. I have narrowed down transportation to our hotel from the airport but what is a good choice for transportation from hotel to port and back? I have seen poor reviews for Laura's as well as good. We do not want to rent a car. Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked us up at the airport and took us to the resort we were staying at in Orlando. They also picked us up at the port after our cruise. They inquired if we needed from resort to port, but we had family we rode with. http://www.beachlinetransportation.net/Index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking into Mears ( I've used them before) but I don't think they go to Port Canaveral. Was it a shared ride situation or private car? It will be just DH and I.

peg013 Posted November 3, 2010 #908 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) I looked all though Shirley's post but do not see any info on internet cafes. Where is the best place to access the internet, accessible by the "shuttle" from the Port? Is this an actual shuttle or the bus system that you can access right at the port? Is there a schedule for it? TIA. Edited November 3, 2010 by peg013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK GTO-Girl -smartie pants - you gave me my laugh to start my morning with ;) so I did want to thank you for that - Norm and I were both born and raised in Key West, Florida and if it goes below the 70's here, I, myself, feel like I am at the North Pole :) - really being right on the ocean, it does feel much cooler - the weather says about 47 for this weekend in the mornings getting up to about 72. I forget folks from a cooler state, do enjoy this type of weather since they have to deal with a heck lot more - so come on down and I will look for a gal that is in shorts and a tank top and you look for someone that is wrapped up as if she was at the North Pole ok? Thanks really for just giving me a smile so early in the AM for it makes for a great way to wake up to - Stay safe and have a great time Hugssssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there peg013 - Zackery's Restaurant which is sandwiched between the Radisson and the Residence Inn has free WIFI and as for the "shuttle" from the port, I will have to let someone else give you that info - I did find out yesterday when I went to vote, that the library here in Cape Canaveral does have a great computer system and they will give you a day's pass if you have ID to use them - I believe the only problem would be if folks are already sitting at them. I am going to try and find out about if we have internet cafes here close to the port - HEY PRESTON WHERE ARE YOU???? - YOU ARE GOOD ON THIS ONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acceber32 Posted November 3, 2010 #912 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Has anyone used the Avis coupon code C031529? I am getting a great rate using this code but I want to make sure it actually works before I book the car. I don't want to get to the counter and have them tell me I can't use that rate and charge me a ton more. Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Are there taxi's right at the port, and would that be the best way to get to Zackery's? I've never used wifi in a restaurant, is there a separate room for it or what? I can't imagine everyone with a laptop on their dining table. Where is the library located and how would I get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb1403 Posted November 4, 2010 #915 Share Posted November 4, 2010 We will sail into Port Canaveral @ 10 AM on 11/29. Our stay will be until 10 PM.

Hello Peg - yes there are cabs at the port and here is a link to the library - the wifi at Zackery's is on your right when you first walk in - its not bad although I have never used it.

peg013 Posted November 5, 2010 #917 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I know I read on one of these pages about a "beach trolley" that goes to Ron Jon's and Walmart among other places. Where can I find a map of where this trolley goes and a schedule with times and stops? What is the actual name of the trolley? TIA Peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

running girl Posted November 5, 2010 #919 Share Posted November 5, 2010 We will be coming into Ft. Lauderdale Next Oct. 28th and there is a boat show so all of the hotels near the water seemed to be booked does anyone have any suggestions of hotels that are near the water that have any openings or hotels near the port that have something scenic by them. Or next option is rent a car and go to Lauderdale by the Sea but I was trying to avoid renting a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take a local fair they cannot get back in. Being that they are not regulated they may set the meter to high. On one cruise they tried to charge me $30 for a trip home right here in CC. The best thing to do is call a local company who can come into the port to pick you up and then it will be a few dollars to the library or where ever you need to go. Shirley do you have a few listed on your info link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there Preston - I am glad that you told me this and yes I do have a few listed, but the one that has become so popular for cost, driver's politeness, etc is AAA Taxi - I did check them out after I had done an update - they can email for information at info@aaataxionline.com or website at http://www.AAAtaxionline.com/ Since my dad was a cab driver many many years ago, I can understand the importance of losing in a place in line. NOW this is only for taxi service for you do have other choices on post 862 for taxi and shuttles Hope that this will help everyone Edited November 5, 2010 by snelsonbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
