Planning a cruise with a stop in Port Canaveral, Florida? In this video, we’re breaking down some of the best things to do in Port Canaveral and the top shore excursions to consider during your visit! Port Canaveral is a little different from your typical Caribbean cruise port. While destinations like Nassau have plenty of shopping, restaurants, and attractions right outside the terminal, most things to do around Port Canaveral require some type of transportation. We’ll talk about visiting Kennedy Space Center, heading to Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando, spending the day at Cocoa Beach, going deep-sea fishing, experiencing a Florida airboat and wildlife tour, and exploring the waterways around Florida’s Space Coast. We’ll also discuss whether traveling all the way to Orlando is actually worth it during a cruise stop and why sometimes the best option might be staying onboard and enjoying a much less crowded ship. Whether Port Canaveral is where you’re starting your cruise or it’s one of the stops on your itinerary, this video will help you decide how to spend your day. 👍 If you enjoyed the video, give it a like! 🔔 Subscribe to Adventures Away for more cruise tips, ship tours, port guides, theme parks, and vacation advice.
