When do you sail?

Prices and availability open on Booking.com for the night you need. Most Port Canaveral sailings board between late morning and early afternoon, so the night before is the safe choice.

Quick answer

The town of Cape Canaveral sits right at the port gate: all nine hotels here are 0.8–1.3 miles from the south-side terminals, about 3–4 minutes by car. Homewood Suites and Residence Inn are the nearest. Every one sells a shuttle ($10–12 a person), and most let you leave the car, from $12 a night at Homewood.

North-side terminals take a few minutes longer

The port has two sides. Royal Caribbean’s Terminal 1 and Carnival’s Terminal 3 are on the south side, 3–5 minutes from these hotels. Terminals 5, 6, 8 and 10 (Norwegian, Carnival’s other ships, Disney and MSC) are on the north side, reached from a different SR 528 exit: allow 4–11 minutes.
