Port Canaveral Cruise Folks Get Scoop On Cape Canaveral Hotels, Transportation

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 13, 2009 – Most people who book a cruise from Port Canaveral book the cruise first then go through the hassle of finding out where Port Canaveral is, how to get there, what airport to use, find hotels near Port Canaveral and how to get from the airport to the hotel and then back to the airport after the cruise. Once they find out the port is in Cape Canaveral, Florida and the airport is in Orlando, some of them are shocked when they learn distance from Orlando to Port Canaveral.  Now there’s help for cruisers with inside tips about Cape Canaveral hotels and transportation from a former hotel and travel professional who knows Port Canaveral.  Calling herself the Port Canaveral Hotels Insider, she has launched a website by the same name providing a collection of free advice and mistakes to avoid that travelers typically make when booking hotels and transportation to Port Canaveral.  The website only lists hotels near Port Canaveral and helps you avoid the false advertisers on travel booking sites that list themselves as Port Canaveral hotels but could be as much as thirty miles away.

The Insider uniquely categorizes hotels near Port Canaveral (http://www.portcanaveralhotelsinsider.com/hotels-near-po ...) by each type of traveler’s different requirements.  Because the Insider has worked with literally thousands of cruise passengers out of Port Canaveral, she knows the hotels and transportation services that best fit each type of traveler’s specific needs and tailors the pages to be user friendly in finding the right type of hotel and transportation services (http://www.portcanaveralhotelsinsider.com/port-canaveral ...).  The hotel types are defined more by the mode of transportation guests will be using to arrive, which can often determine the type of hotel they are looking for.  This makes it easy for visitors to the website to quickly and thoroughly determine whether a hotel fits their needs.  For example, lots of folks decide to drive their own car to Port Canaveral and would like to leave the car at the hotel while on the cruise. This is mainly to avoid the $15 per day fees Port Canaveral parking.  So, the site provides a specific page listing all the Park and Cruise hotels near Port Canaveral and the types of parking packages each hotel offers.

The rest of the guests are flying in to take their cruise and they need to figure out transportation from Orlando to Port Canaveral.  This is where the Insider points out mistakes to avoid that can be quite costly. Those looking at car rental for Port Canaveral Florida are advised that there are only five rental car companies with drop off service in Port Canaveral.  Surprisingly, some people find themselves in the situation where they found the cheapest car rental rate at Orlando Airport and then have no place to drop off the car in Port Canaveral when they go on the cruise and end up paying the car rental during the entire cruise and parking fees too.

Some people have a lot of luggage and kids, so they may determine that a Port Canaveral cruise shuttle service is their best way to get back and forth from the airport. There’s a page for shuttle service from Orlando FL to Port Canaveral with good advice about the do’s and don’t when using airport shuttles.  There are many good points the Insider makes that people who are considering a Port Canaveral cruise shuttle service need to think about like the fact that shuttles only run at certain times, there are other passengers to ride with and wait for, and like a bus, shuttles will probably make a few stops before arriving at your hotel.  

If you don’t like the idea of waiting and stopping, the Insider points out that a Port Canaveral limousine is a surprisingly affordable alternative to airport shuttles.  With a Port Canaveral limousine, you have private service, you get picked up on time and you’re taken directly to your hotel at a price that is very competitive with shuttle service and much less than cab fare from Orlando to Port Canaveral.
