Affordable Hotels
Near Port Canaveral

There are many hotels near Port Canaveral from which to choose, if your family plans to cruise from the "Orlando" area (actual cruise port is about one hour east of Orlando).

Without a doubt, cruising out of Port Canaveral to the Caribbean is highly popular among families from around the world.

In fact, that is the main place to board a Disney Caribbean cruise. 

Deciding Which Area
Hotels To Choose

However, in addition to Disney Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean offer several cruise sailings from Port Canaveral to the Caribbean and The Bahamas.

In terms of hotels near Port Canaveral, you have two options from which to choose.

If your plans include visits to popular attractions in central Florida - Disney World, SeaWorld, The Holy Land, Universal Studios, etc, then you will want to choose hotels in the Orlando area.

On the other hand, if you plan to visit the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, etc., then you should choose hotels near Cocoa Beach.
