I am a Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral local so it pains me to have to rank our port experience as only "average". The west end has traffic flow problems and Cruise Terminal 10 can be very difficult to navigate. You have to go early or late but absolutely NEVER aim for mid-day.

Instead of being called by latitudes levels everyone was herded into the same line and processed onto the shop as quickly as possible. We waited about an hour but really nothing to complain about. ...
