I really wanted to take my mom on her first cruise, and I chose this 4-night out of Port Canaveral because I thought it would be a good place to start for her. Date: October 3rd - 7th Home Port: Port Canaveral Parking: Park Port Canaveral (at the Radisson) $7.95/day + tax (free shuttle) Price: $520 total incl taxes - Porthole cabin R23 Ports of Call: Nassau, Half Moon Cay (private island) Embarkation Day Recommend making a parking reservation at Park Port Canaveral . Easy, cheap, convenient, and quick. They have shuttles running pretty much non-stop and nice staff. Check-in and boarding was smooth and the fastest yet! Food Your typical Carnival fare. The Lido deck buffett area is small, but there are still enough choices to find something to eat. I was surprised to find out that Elegant night was the evening as Nassau (port from 12-8). Needless to say, dinner wasn't all that crowded. Dessert suggestion on Elegant night - order Cherries Jubilee and eat it along
Love my toes in the sand, with a glass of wine in hand - best way to spend a Florida day! This isn't so much a blog as it is a collection of "where we went, what we did, and how we did it." Hope you find the information helpful!
