kkosully Posted February 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2011 My family and I will be arriving in Port Canaveral in April and want to go to the Kennedy Space Center. Is it better to book through the cruise line and spend what seems to be 8 hours there or should we rent a car and come and go as we like. There are 4 of us so the difference in the cost is about the same. Curious what others may suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Darter Posted February 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I may be the exception to the rule since I steadfastly refuse to book any excursions through RCI, but I'd definitely rent a car. Way more flexibility to do YOUR thing at YOUR pace. You didn't say, but are you planning this KSC trip after debarkation? Flying out of OAI?

kkosully Posted February 23, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thank you Andy for the response. We dock at 10 am and leave at 9 pm. It's one of the ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohertm1 Posted February 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The should you definitely rent a car, easy to do near Port Canaveral and the rental places, like Budget, run shuttles to the ships if you are renting a vehicle. Also, having a car will give you the freedom to explore other attractions if you finish early at the Kennedy Space Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymless1 Posted February 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We tried to book through RCI on our first cruise and they didn't have enough people to fill the excursion so we ended up renting a car and going on our own. We did that two years in a row and it worked out great. The first year we did the bus tour at the Space Center and the 2nd year we did the shuttle ride and the movies and such. We had a great time.

psblin99 Posted February 23, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Rent a car. Far less expensive and most do not want 8 hours at KSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtravlin2 Posted February 24, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2011 In the event you wish not to rent a car, for 4 people was $59 round trip with Executive vip limo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
