Fly, Snooze & Cruise in July - Port Canaveral

[Sarah7683]

I've seen a few discussions about this but I wanted to get some opinions. We're flying into Orlando for our honeymoon on July 5th to catch our very first cruise on the 6th out of Port Canaveral. The Fly, Snooze and Cruise packages are really intriguing to me, but I'm wondering...

 

What hotels would you recommend?

What hotels would you NOT recommend?

Is there any benefit to staying closer to the port vs closer to the airport?

 

Additionally, we're headed to Disney after the cruise and we're assuming if we do fly snooze and cruise, we'll head back to the airport to catch the transportation from there. Unless there is another way, that you all would suggest?

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!
