This is where the list turns toward the beach. Courtyard sits on the ocean, runs its own Park & Cruise package with a shuttle, and publishes an $18-a-day rate for parking while you sail.
Breakfast isn't free, and the drive is longer than from Cape Canaveral. For a sunrise walk on the sand before boarding, it's the best trade on the list.
Book it if
- Anyone who wants an ocean morning before the ship
- Drivers who still want the ride to the port handled
- Couples on a shorter sailing, where $18 a day stays reasonable
Look elsewhere if
- You need free breakfast or a kitchen.
- You're bringing a pet.
