located in Port Canaveral – is the Radisson Resort at the Port (www.radisson.com/capecanaveralfl).

For reservations, go to their website – or call: 321/868-6573. Mention AWON for a discounted rate.


Initially, here are some simple MAPS – from Orlando Airport to the hotel in Port Canaveral
and (later) to two different Parking facilities – along with what will be local CHAMBER-provided choices
of things to do in the Orlando/Port Canaveral area.

Port Canaveral, FL (where the Cruise will depart) – is due EAST of Orlando International.


If there's any change in departure information, we'll let the cruisers know directly..


There will be TWO parking situations you may want to consider, which we'll detail –
so you can consider the alternatives before arrival.



Pictures are starting to come in, but be patient for others,
which we'll post as soon as we can, given the vagaries of the holidays.
So far, we hope you enjoy seeing photographic evidence on these pages:
