We stayed at the Comfort inn and Suites in Cocoa Beach using the Fly, Snooze and Cruise package which was well worth the money. We were emailed instructions for meeting the driver from Travelynx and we were picked up from the airport right on time. We arrived to the hotel at noon and our ocean view room was ready and more than adequate for a one night stay. The rooms are dated but clean and the location was ideal with grocery stores, restaurants, Starbucks and Ron Jon's surf shop all within walking distance. We had time to pick up some last minute supplies, have a nice dinner and even took a long walk on the beach!
Faster to the Fun - The program offers early boarding, priority tendering, VIP line at guest services desk, etc. However, the hotel shuttle didn't leave until noon so we didn't board as soon as we would have liked. Once we got to the port, we had VIP check in and were on the ship within 15 minutes with our luggage arriving less than half an hour later.
We found the ship to be well laid out and pretty much everything you need is on deck 5 or 10. We prefer the quieter areas of the ship and enjoyed our time on the Serenity deck.
Noisy location! Located right under the galley.
