maggieq Posted February 4, 2023 #326 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Last time we cruised from port canaveral we stayed at the Hyatt at the airport. Restaurant in the hotel is pretty good and you can walk out into the terminal if needed. We catch the shuttle to port next day. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 4, 2023 Author #327 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Trying to be positive, at least I'm getting some use out of this nearly three hundred dollar a night hotel room... 9 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've read any of @sid_9169...reviews where he cruises out of Miami you will understand why he is not a fan of PC! I am NOT a fan of the CITY but let me say that @sid_9169 sure knows how to make Miami look inviting with his beverages, food and walk abouts. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I have something in my belly now, though. I got the grouper sandwich with fries, but what I really want is some stone crabs. I stopped by Seafood Atlantic but they didn't have a single one... Something tells me I may end up back at the hotel room with a six pack of beer... Not that there’s anything wrong with a six pack of beer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it's not even seven o'clock yet, but I'd like to at least get a good night's sleep before what will likely prove to be a long day tomorrow. As far as port Canaveral as an embarkation port? I'll avoid it like the plague from here on out... Yes, get a good night's sleep, and start telling us the actual cruise story starting with the embarkation. Too bad your port sucks. Here are a couple of good ones IMHO that we have sailed from. In the Americas--San Juan Puerto Rico and in Europe-Barcelona, Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw the feet from your last review. Well, maybe this time. By the way It has been below ZERO F all day at work. Just praying for you to talk about the heat Sid. It was -34F when I got up this morning and is supposed to be +37F as the high temp tomorrow, that is over a 70 degree change in 30 or so hours. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go to cocoa beach, maybe coconuts I live in South Florida do we're going to drive up the morning we leave next month. Nothing around those parts that we don't have in the Ft Lauderdale/Miami area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindyWebb Posted February 5, 2023 #334 Share Posted February 5, 2023 So interesting to hear how many people hate Port Canaveral. I always look there first because I have so many flight options into Orlando and driving it’s way easier for me versus Miami. Also ate at the Kelsey’s last year. Lots of food and we liked it but it’s just a normal pizza/pub type food. looking forward to another great live! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #336 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Cruise day has finally arrived!!! It only took one try to get the coffee machine working, so I'm taking that as a positive omen... It's raining here in PC, but hopefully that'll blow over before I have to head out. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgags Posted February 5, 2023 #338 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Good Morning Sid Hope you slept well? I just checked in for my 2/26 Prima cruise! I also hate this port. Love Miami!! Coming from upstate NY I always fly in 2 days before because of winter weather. So much to see in Miami!!! Have a fantastic 1st day on Prima! Will definitely be following all week!

Rare Lupush Posted February 5, 2023 #340 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Sid, if you don’t mind would you be able to check the price of the Unlimited Arcade Pass when you’re onboard? It’s no longer available for advance purchase like it used to be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close by and especially great if you have kids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #342 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I was going to try and walk to McDonald's but it's pouring down rain right now. Hopefully it clears up a bit before I have to head out for real. They had a little free breakfast buffet in the lobby, but it's been pretty much stripped of anything good. I managed to snag a biscuit and a couple of things of yogurt. All I have to do is survive until I can make it onto the ship. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #343 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Does anyone know which terminal the Prima sails from here at port Canaveral? Google is telling me number 10, but I thought I heard it was 5... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #347 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Good news is that it looks like the rain is slowing down. I went ahead and took a shower, and I'm basically ready to roll out whenever. I don't want to be too early, but honestly I don't have anything better to do here at the hotel. Costume of the day is a rerun... 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually stay at the Best Western right near the pier. Not fancy, but clean and beach access right out their parking lot. Sunrise on the beach...ah, vacation has started...😊 Then its just a quick Uber ride to the ship. https://www.cocoabeachpier.com/dining/rikki-tiki-tavern/ 2nd the Best Western on Cocoa Beach. Nothing fancy but clean and near some decent places to eat/drink. People watching on the beach is entertaining, too. Too late for Syd, but maybe next time? Bon Voyage, Syd! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #350 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Uber on the way... Everyone must still be sleeping. It's been pretty slow here this morning. Hopefully I can get you all excited soon... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
