cruisesusie Posted April 30, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I was looking through the excursions for Port Canaveral and saw one for Cocoa Village. Has anyone taken a cab to Cocoa Village ? I would like to know the approximate cost. They're charging $24.00 pp for the bus round trip and I thought a cab would be a better option. There are 2 of us. Thanks for any info.

cruisesusie Posted April 30, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Capt BJ - thanks for the info and maps. I'm sure a cab will be more reasonable than 48.00 round trip. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA Cruiser Posted May 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What do you get for $24/pp? Just a ride? If you check with Mapquest, it's just under 12 miles but they route you thru Merritt Island, where I grew up. The taxi would keep going on the 528 then down to the village. I went there for a "field trip" in Jr High to the theater to see The Sound of Music. I remember it to be a quaint place then. Another suggestion much closer to the port and something I do when I go back for high school class reunions, is take the intercoastal water taxis, similar to the ones in Fort Lauderdale. Here is a link http://www.islandboatlines.com/ Have fun planning and have a great cruise. Teresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted May 1, 2006 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Rent a car and do some other things as well. Like the Lone Cabbage Fish Camp...airboat rides- you'll have enough time to do both.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisesusie Posted May 1, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Teresa, Thanks for the info. For 24.00 you get a ride and a map. smeyer - The ship will there from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. We probably won't get off the ship until 8 a.m. the earliest so there isn't much time. We're really only interested in walking so the Village seems ideal for us. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
