Creator's Key Takeaways

We just arrived at Port Canaveral. We've dropped off our luggage and now we're heading up this escalator to the terminal.

So far very subdued vibes and the music isn't too loud. So if you're really into just relaxing and not partying, this could be the imbarcation day for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Know your room number before boarding as it's not printed on the key card.
If you want to try different foods at the Local, grab a seat at the counters instead of waiting for a table.
For free fountain soda, you may need to order at a bar with a dispenser rather than using the tablet system.
