Wilson Posted August 27, 2016 #26 Share Posted August 27, 2016 This week I learned that Radisson honors the Government rate even for leisure travel. Just cancelled from a 2 star and moved to the Radisson Resort for a measly $27 more. On another note. I have a 1-way car rental from MCO and dropping off at Budget the following morning. I am going solo so no passengers to drop off. What time should I arrive at Budget to avoid long lines from people getting off Freedom that are renting a car back to MCO?

That's my experience with Avis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 27, 2016 #29 Share Posted August 27, 2016 We stayed at the Radisson, and left our car for the week. It' in the hotel parking lot, and it's safe. Get a time for the shuttle to the port. The shuttles run about every half hour, and they pick you up automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used Dollar two weeks ago one-way from Orlando and arrived at their location around 10:15 -- one person in front of us at the desk. We did the same drill when we got off the FOS and were at the Dollar location by 8:15am. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirgloin Posted August 27, 2016 #31 Share Posted August 27, 2016 In your post you state you will be sailing on the Oasis from Port Canaveral on October 1. The Oasis will be sailing out of Port Everglades through the month of October and the Freedom will be on Port Canaveral that month. Please check your reservation to make sure. You don't want to show up at the wrong ship, or land in Orlando and find you need to drive down to Fort Lauderdale.

mirgloin Posted August 27, 2016 #33 Share Posted August 27, 2016 OOPS!!! I just realized I misread the year. Please accept my apologies for any panic or distress my previous reply may have caused.

blue is the best Posted August 27, 2016 Author #34 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Don't worry. No panic on my end. I was about to answer when someone already answered you. Thank you for trying to help a fellow cruiser. As a matter of fact I am sailing this year on the Freedom out of Fort Lauderdale on Dec 10th 2016 for eight nights before the Freedom and Oasis switch ports next year.

RCI Cruisers 004 Posted August 28, 2016 #36 Share Posted August 28, 2016 We book our hotel and transportation thru Royal. We always arrive the day before and head right over to Disney after we check in. Most people will tell you to book everything on your own,including transportation, but booking thru Royal gives us piece of mind it will all go smoothly.

Mom2MA Posted August 28, 2016 #37 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I saw you stayed at country inn and suites. Can you tell me if there are any restaurants close by or in the hotel that we won't need to take a cab to? My husband has a bad knee so looking for something close enough to walk to. I know Kelsey's is next to the Radisson but wondering if there is anything near the country inn? Thanks in advanceBarb Burger King and Kelsey's are nearby but I would highly recommend taking a cab to Fishlips. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 28, 2016 #38 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Burger King and Kelsey's are nearby but I would highly recommend taking a cab to Fishlips. It was great! I have a pre-cruise meetup at FishLips. How close is it to the Radisson? If too far to walk, I am considering uber or walking since I intend to have a few adult beverages.

If too far to walk, I am considering uber or walking since I intend to have a few adult beverages. It's about 1.3 miles. I wouldn't walk it. A1A is really busy, and you will have to cross it in each direction. I'd use UBER. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
