Port Canaveral Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure Excursion Reviews

Everything was great!

Went to see Harry Potter World - it was great, a must-see if you are a fan. Dr. Seuss Land was really cute, even for adults. A great excursion.

This was a great time, however, despite me giving a 5+ review, I would not recommend this or any theme park excursion for this port. It is expensive because of the distance between the port and the park and you are very limited in time. The ONLY way you can do everything, is if the park is practically dead. That happened for me in December on a Wednesday, but I think I was lucky due to the possibility of inclement weather. The excursion itself, is great, but you're hamstrung with the limitations of your visit.

Took a bus up to Islands of Adventure. We were there on a Tuesday, so the park was really quiet. We were able to walk right onto all of the rides. Longest wait was 5 minutes. Definately worth the ride up, we had plenty of time to explore the whole park.

Great bus company/ tour guide. They were fast and efficient, gave us contact info and schedules of departure. Made great time to the park. Bus Driver was funny and informative. The park was not crowded, was able to ride all features we wanted to in the time available with no issues. Park is very well maintained and we loved butter-beer :)

It was a great day for Universal Studios. Lines were short and weather was good. I mostly rated a 3 because of the overpricing. Also, I would like to see Carnival be more understanding of weather. We were lucky. One reason we rarely book excursions is be cause we don't want to be stuck, for example, at an amusement park on a rainy day.

Could have used more time here. It is a little expensive for the 5-6 hours you get in the park, but my daughter and I really just wanted to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We were extremely lucky and hit everything just right. Even with two other ships in port the day we were there, the longest we waited for anything was 50 minutes. We managed to see everything and even had time for a late "sit-down" lunch at the Three Broomsticks.

ort Canaveral: Best known for Kennedy Space Center tours but options range from beach time to Disney World. We boarded a comfortable bus for the hour long ride to Universal Studios. It felt like a vacation within a vacation.

Lots of waiting on line to even get to the park. Need to find a more efficient way to get us all there.

Rides were really REALY good and Harry Potter area was great but all in all they still dont have the attention to detail that Disney has.

The bus ride is kind of long, but it was well worth it to go and see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter during its opening week. You also only have about five hours in the park so make it count! Overall it was a stress free excursion that was reasonably priced.
