Radisson Resort at the Port
Why Stay at the Radisson Resort at the Port Before a Cruise? If you’re cruising from Port Canaveral, staying near the port the night before just makes sense. The Radisson Resort at the Port is popular with cruisers for one main reason: it makes cruise day easier. It’s not fancy. It’s practical, comfortable, and close…

The written companion to the voyage: longer reads, extra frames, and the small details the videos didn’t have room for.
So you've just stepped off your cruise ship, your bags are packed, and you've got a solid chunk of time before your flight back home. You could sit at the airport for hours — or you could make one last magical memory at Disney Springs . This was honestly one of the best discoveries we…
Let me be straight with you: We didn't need much convincing to book Hideaway Beach. The words adults only were enough.

We'd heard the hype. "World's greatest weekend," Royal Caribbean boldly calls it — and honestly? After four nights aboard Utopia of the Seas , we'd say they're not entirely wrong. But we'd also say four nights is not enough time to fall completely in love with a ship and simultaneously resent that you have to…
Radisson Resort at the Port – Does the Job, But Don't Expect More We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights before our cruise, and the location is really the main draw. At $416.09 for two nights, it's not exactly cheap, but it's competitively priced for the area given how close it sits to the…
So you've booked a Royal Caribbean cruise out of Port Canaveral — exciting times! But there's one thing that catches a lot of first-time cruisers off guard: Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about 45 miles from Port Canaveral. That's roughly a 45 to 60-minute drive depending on traffic, and there's no quick rail link or…
