Port Canaveral
Port Rating: 
Went only to cocoa village. Described as "enchanting experience." Nothing special, some upscale shops so if you want to shop. Did not go to NASA, Disneyworld or other available (not cheap) trip. Despite "tour guide" on the transfer busses, little or no information or enthusiasm. Like taking a bus.
Overall: Would have preferred that this port was skipped so as to provide more time at sea or in port in the bahamas. People who want to visit the theme parks and NASA should do a separate trip or a trip that gives them more time. A relatively expensive ($135./person) intense (time spent) trip to NASA ("NASA up close tour") was cancelled. Despite cost probably would have taken it if it had not been cancelled.

Freeport
Glass Bottom Boat Rating: 
1. Glass bottom boat trip was worth the price, but the time spent viewing the fish through the glass bottom and the sharks both under and (fed by the crew) alongside the boat was fairly short.
2. Compared with Nassau, the port area in Freeport was as day is to night.: disembarkation is to an open sunny area, shops/food stands easily accessible, live (good) music playing (Singer "Matisse" is one of the Island's best). Passengers were dancing to her singing). The shops were friendly.
3. Driver of bus ("Duane") was proud of his Island, conveyed happiness while giving info about both the passing sights and the governance, history, policies (e.g., no income tax) and culture of the Island.
