This one is for pairing a cruise with a day at Kennedy Space Center. Go Port's package handles the parking and the shuttle, and breakfast is free.
The trade is distance — you'll drive down to Merritt Island on sail morning, so leave extra time.
Book it if
- Cruisers adding a Kennedy Space Center day
- Drivers coming down I-95 from the north
Look elsewhere if
- You want to wake up close to the ship.
- You're bringing a pet.

Not one it runs itself, but there are published options. From Orlando International: No hotel shuttle. Marriott names All Services Limousines, reservation required. $100 one way. From Orlando Sanford: No hotel shuttle. Marriott names AAA Transportation. $75 one way. From Orlando Melbourne: Melbourne isn't listed.

Can I park at Fairfield Titusville while I cruise?
Not at the hotel itself. Go Port's package bundles one night here with parking at its Merritt Island lot and shuttles both ways. It showed from $188 when we checked, a starting price, not a promise.
How far is Fairfield Titusville from Port Canaveral?
Marriott doesn't state a distance. The Holiday Inn next door lists the cruise terminals 25 miles away. It sits in our Titusville band.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 12:00 PM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
The hotel publishes only the ride to the port. Go Port runs a shared shuttle back to MCO from 7:00 AM, $29.99 a person, and MCO puts a taxi at about $115 for the car.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Free hot breakfast. Mon–Fri 6:30–9:30 AM, Sat–Sun 7:00–10:00 AM. Your terminal check-in window is in your cruise documents, and the port asks you not to arrive before it.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging: not on site. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The port's garages take oversized vehicles; check the port's parking page for clearance before you bring anything tall.
