Hi - We are cruising out of Port Canaveral for the first time next Spring.
We are planning on being in town (Cocoa Beach/Melbourne Beach) for a couple days before and after the cruise and we will need a car.
I have been pricing out rentals and it seems that we can save at least $50, if we rent a car one way (From Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral) and then rent one way again (Port Canaveral to Orlando Airport) but I'm wondering if it is worth it vs. the convenience factor? Parking will also offset a bit ($30 and up) depending on where we park the rental car, but I keep reading about long lines for shuttle buses...
I'm not opposed to paying an extra $80-$100 if it will save me from waiting around for a couple hours in shuttle lines and post cruise car rental lines.
Any advice would be appreciated!
