Well I apologize because this review may be long, but I think its important to tell the entire story of what experiences I had. I should start from the beginning.
The drive from Detroit was as good as could be expected. The weather for January was great the whole drive. The drive back was also great. My prayers were answered for sure with that.
The Radisson resort at the port was horrible. We had stayed there in February 2010, and it was decent, but this time it was brutal. We checked in and had a problem immediately. When we booked the hotel I immediately booked the shuttle to the ship. The funny thing was we booked the 1030 slot for 12 people. The 10 was already filled. I called about 2 weeks before the cruise and requested a roll away bed for my daughter and when I did I verifed the shuttle time. At first the employee couldnt find my party than said oh yes there you are for 2 people. I said oh no its 12. He assured me he found it and there was no problem. Well when we got there it was wrong. No party of 12. The hotel staff kept telling us there is nothing we can do we will try to get you there but you are only on standby. I was not happy. They ended up getting us there after we called a cab, and the fact three parties didnt show. The hotel was disgusting though. The floor was dirty and stained. We stopped counting the stains on the floor. The hallways hadnt been vacummed in what looked like a month. I would not recommend this hotel and the problem is there isnt many options on port canaveral.
