We Flew Into Orlando the day before the cruise and stayed at the Holiday Inn at Cocoa Beach. It was a very nice Hotel. I also went to the beach that day to start off the pre-cruise and Had dinner on the beach and watched the sunset.
1st day
got shuttled from the hotel to the port by 11:30 and was on the ship 20 minutes within the time we arrived on the lido deck. it was very fast process.
