Before you sail

What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.

2 sea days
The pool loungers and the shaded spots go early on a sea day — by eight in the morning on a full ship, and this one carries 750 guests. Reserving one and leaving it is against the rules on most lines and crew do clear them, so send someone early rather than at ten.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 7-night cruise is really 6 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

The drinks package

Drinks packages typically range from around $65-100 USD per person, per day, including automatic service charges. Confirm the current price with your cruise line when booking.

Break-even: These packages usually become cost-effective if you plan to have 5-7 alcoholic drinks a day, or a mix of premium coffees, sodas, and alcoholic beverages. Each line defines what counts towards the package.

This package suits those who drink several alcoholic beverages daily and prefer not to track individual costs, but might not be cost-effective for light drinkers or those primarily consuming included beverages.

Day-by-day itinerary

Day 1Port Canaveral· United States
Depart 17:00
Embark in Port Canaveral.
Getting ashore in Port Canaveral
Cruise ships berth at one of several dedicated terminals in Port Canaveral. The port is a large industrial and tourist complex, not directly walkable to a town or city center. Cocoa Beach is about 5-8 miles (8-13 km) away, and walking is not practical due to distance and main roads.
Rideshare or TaxiApproximately 15-20 minutes to Cocoa Beach, 20-30 minutes to Kennedy Space CenterTypically around $15-25 USD per car to Cocoa Beach, or $30-50 USD per car to Kennedy Space Center. Taxi fares might be slightly higher.
Rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are usually active and convenient. Taxis are available, confirm the fare or agree on a meter before departing.
Independent Local ShuttleApproximately 15-25 minutes to Cocoa Beach, or 25-40 minutes to Kennedy Space Center, plus any waiting time.Often about $10-15 USD per person for a one-way trip to Cocoa Beach, or $25-35 USD per person for a round trip to Kennedy Space Center.
Several local companies offer shared shuttle services; look for their representatives or signage near the terminal exit, or inquire with port staff. Confirm drop-off and return times when booking.
Cruise Line ShuttleVaries depending on destination and schedule.If offered, it could be around $15-30 USD per person for a round trip to a specific drop-off point, or included in an excursion package.
Some cruise lines provide a shuttle service to Cocoa Beach or the Kennedy Space Center. Check with your cruise line on board for availability and schedules.
Watch out. The port area is very spread out and not pedestrian-friendly. Always arrange transport from the terminal exit, as walking to off-port attractions or towns is not feasible or safe.
Worth doing here
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
It provides an immersive experience into space exploration history and future missions, appealing to a wide range of interests and ages.
This is an all-day activity, typically requiring 6 to 8 hours to fully experience. Admission is usually around $75-85 USD for adults, check their website for current pricing. For assured transportation and timely return, consider booking a ship's excursion, or arrange independent transport well in advance.
Relax at Cocoa Beach
It offers a classic Florida beach experience for relaxation, swimming, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze.
A taxi or shuttle ride to Cocoa Beach typically takes 15-20 minutes and might cost around $10-20 USD per person each way; confirm the current price on the day. Beach access is generally free, allowing for a half-day or full-day visit.
Visit Manatee Sanctuary Park
This park provides a peaceful setting to potentially observe local wildlife, especially manatees during cooler months, close to the port.
The park is a short 5-10 minute taxi ride from the cruise terminal. Entry is free, and you can spend 1-2 hours walking the boardwalks and enjoying the natural surroundings.

Costs that surprise people

Specialty Dining. Restaurants beyond the main dining rooms and buffets often carry an additional cover charge or à la carte pricing, typically ranging from $25-60 USD per person.
Shore Excursions. Activities and tours arranged through the cruise line at port stops are an additional cost, with prices varying widely depending on the activity and duration.
Spa and Salon Services. Treatments like massages, facials, and hair services are not included in the base fare and are charged separately.
Premium Drinks. Beverages beyond water, basic coffee, and tea, such as sodas, specialty coffees, alcoholic drinks, and fresh juices, are generally extra without a drinks package.
Gift Shop Purchases. Souvenirs, clothing, toiletries, and other items bought in the on-board shops are charged to your account.
Casino and Arcade. Any gambling in the casino or games in the arcade are additional expenses charged to your on-board account.

Ways to spend less

Book Packages Before Sailing. Drinks, WiFi, and specialty dining packages are often offered at a reduced rate if purchased online before embarkation, rather than on board.
Bring Allowed Beverages. Many cruise lines permit passengers to bring a limited quantity of non-alcoholic beverages or a single bottle of wine per adult on board, subject to their policy. Check the line's current rules.
Eat at Included Venues. Stick to the main dining rooms and buffet restaurants, which are covered by your fare, to avoid extra charges from specialty dining.
Go Ashore Independently. Research and plan your own activities in port instead of booking cruise line excursions, which can often be more expensive.
Utilize Free Drinks. Make use of the complimentary water, iced tea, basic coffee, and juices typically available in the buffet or main dining rooms.
Limit WiFi Usage. Consider purchasing WiFi only for specific times you need it, or wait to connect at free hotspots in port, rather than buying a continuous package.
