Port Canaveral hotels with parking during cruise.

[DW - Vol.]

Disboard Cruisers,
My husband and I are going on the Disney Fantasy at the end of June. We have not cruised since 2014. I have searched the forums and could not find any answers. My question is what hotels at Port Canaveral has a parking package and bus service to get us to the port at our scheduled time. I was looking for hotels at Port Canaveral and the prices ranged from $230 to 300 for one night. After driving for 12 to 14 hours, I like to be at the port, but we may need to stay in Orlando or a little closer to the port. Any information would be appreciated about hotel and packages or hotels between Orlando and the cruise port. Thank you. DW

I'm pretty sure the Hampton Inn Cape Canaveral has a park & cruise package. In my experience the nightly hotel rate is higher with such packages because you are essentially including the cost of parking, so that price range is about what I remember.

The Residence Inn offers parking packages, but I'm not sure the cost is cheaper than just paying at the port to park.
It is $17 a day to park at port, you would have to see what the hotel will charge you for the room package.
The last time we did the parking package, we waited over an hour for the shuttle to pick us up, we had to call the hotel several times.
We said never again.
Last month we did express walk off and we were on the road by 7:45am.

Is the parking a flat $17 per day or are there additional fees and taxes?

Its a flat $17. However, be aware that then include the start and end days when calculating the price. So, a 4-night cruise is charged for 5 days or $85

Country Inn & Suites and Radisson at the Port both offer park and cruise packages too.

Getting to the port from the Residence was no issue, but getting back.... we had to stand out in the hot FL sun for close to an hour. They were running shuttles but there were three ships in port all at the same time. By the time we got back to our hot car after dragging luggage around to the back of the resort.... we were all dripping. Never ever....

Port is more secure than Hotel Parking Lot.
No Shuttle
Most times your are in the Parking Garage so car is out of the sun.
No tipping Shuttle driver $20 - both ways. (six bags)
If you get a porter.... not lugging luggage.

Last time I checked the only way to book packages were via the Hotels website, but if you used Hotwire or Priceline you could get just the room for $50 less than the Stay & Park package was.
