Couple of Questions about Port Canaveral

Hi. I have a couple of questions about Port Canaveral. Thinking about the Monarch in June for a Bahama cruise and found good flights into Orlando Intl. :)

How long is the drive from the airport to the ship? If we come in the night before (which is most likely) any good hotels to stay at near the ship? Nothing fancy... Holiday Inn is fine. There is flight home that leaves at noon. Too early?? Not sure of the distance between ship/airport. (Last July I was off the Majesty by 7:30 a.m., and at Miami Intl by 9 a.m.) Also, I'm a Platinum member, so I usually can get off the ship pretty early with the private departure lounge option.

Thanks!

The distance from the airport to the port is about 45-50 miles. Allow an hour. The place to stay is in Cocoa Beach, which is just south of the port.

We liked the Radisson Resort at the Port in Cocoa Beach. If you're driving, you can park there for free during your cruise and they have a shuttle to & from the ships. It is a little more than the Holiday Inn but the money you save on parking makes it worth the extra $$.
