andy7753 Posted October 17, 2011 #1828 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Got an e-mail from the Doubletree late Saturday night that due to damage from wind and rain they would be closed for about a month, and since we are scheduled to be there in 3 weeks, we will need to stay some place else. They did offer to relocate us at the same rate at the Hilton, but in reading reviews on TripAdvisor I think we have decided to stay at the Courtyard Marriott. Do you have any information about this hotel or the area in which is it located? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snelsonbrown Posted October 17, 2011 #1833 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) ShirleyAre you aware of any other hotels (Comfort Suites?) that sustained damage? Hello Clay - I went riding around after the storm and didn't see any serious damage in fact most of all the hotels were packed full - a lot of fallen trees, electrical wire etc but know that the Doubletree is thisclose to the ocean and the waves were about 20 ft high or so and I do know that the water was extremely high so I can see where they got damaged - i do know there were a lot of baby turtles being rescued in that area so nope that is the only hotel that I am aware of including Comfort Suites Inn. They are too far from the ocean. Hope this helps Edited October 17, 2011 by snelsonbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted October 17, 2011 #1834 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It most certainly does! I had visions of arriving on Friday at 9pm to find out our hotel was boarded up. Thanks again for all you do. If you are out and about on Friday night, stop by Siam Orchid and I will buy you a drink or dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Clay Clayton Posted October 18, 2011 #1836 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Willdo. We aren't due to arrive in MCO until 6:30 or thereabouts, so it will likely be late before we get there.....hopefully no flight delays or we will be eating at McDonalds at the airport:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves_Dogs Posted October 20, 2011 #1839 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I forgot to ask if anyone has had any experience with Travelynx? Thanks again. I used them for my Mariner of the Seas cruise a few years ago and had no problems. Also have booked them again for my Freedom of the Seas cruise in December. Cost is $25 per person each way and they do charge your credit card at the time of booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILVMM Posted October 20, 2011 #1840 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ahoy! FYI: Off-site parking: Park N Cruise is outdoor parking - - not covered parking. Not sure if that makes a difference to anyone, but my softie garage-housed car might :( weep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted October 20, 2011 #1841 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Shirley Wanted to let you know that the GM at Country Inn and Suites listed on your info post is no longer there. I emailed him today after FINALLY getting priceline to free up a couple of rooms (only saved about $10/room over our rate at Comfort Inn and Suites but our traveling companions prefer interior hallways). Since you had one email addy and their website had another, I emailed them both requesting a king room if available. Didn't hear from either of them but did almost immediately get an email back from Sean Esposito. He said he started as GM FOUR days ago! He did say he had been there for two years though. Anyway, thanks again for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Clay - I have not had a chance to update the information on the post for about a year now but somewhere in here, I had posted the new manager's name and in fact stopped by to meet him - I am so deeply sorry that you had the issues you had - if you have another issue, just do a quick post and I will help - I am assuming that they have changed the GM again so i will stop by and meet the new GM ok?

Rare Clay Clayton Posted October 20, 2011 #1843 Share Posted October 20, 2011 You are right, I remember now reading about a change....but since at the time I wasn't staying there, I didn't pay it any mind. Anyway, You NEVER have any reason to say sorry on this board. The time and help you provide to so many trumps it all.....plus I Didn't have any issues. I was impressed by how quickly the new GM got back to me.....of course mentioning your name probably helped! The new guy seemed nice though he couldn't help with getting us into a king bed....we are in a kid's themed room....should be a hoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcited2cruise2 Posted October 22, 2011 #1846 Share Posted October 22, 2011 We are cruising on FOS in July 2012 with 4 adults, 4 kids ages 6-10. Thinking we will stay in Cocoa Beach the night before to hit the beach with the kids. Please recommend the best hotel (price not a concern) that has a shuttle serivce to the appropriate port. Also, if staying in Cape Canaveral is the better choice, where to stay there? Than kyou for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustUs275 Posted October 30, 2011 #1849 Share Posted October 30, 2011 We just decided to fly instead of driving to PC for our February 2012 cruise but don't have airline tickets bought yet. I've been researching transportation from MCO airport-to-Port Canaveral transportation...can anyone give me a rough idea of what you have paid for transportation for 2 people? We are thinking of calling Executive VIP Limousine, based on CC reviews, but I'd like to have a ballpark figure in my head before I call him. How far ahead would you suggest that we make our transportation reservations? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beej Posted October 30, 2011 #1850 Share Posted October 30, 2011 We booked Travelynx shuttle and paid 25 pp each way. Have used them before and they are right there waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
