Itinerary overview
Highlights of trip
Trip notes
Before your cruise
This Orlando and cruise duo is a tried and tested holiday. Base yourself ay Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando in the Sunset Walk neighbourhood. Hop on the free shuttle over to Walt Disney World Resort, order an uber to Universal Orland Resort for some epic adventures, or wander across to Kissimmee’s waterpark, Island H20 to make the most of your included tickets (H2O only).
Trip notes
Family fun
This cruise is one for the families – whether it’s just the core group of you or if you’re bringing the entire crew: grandparents, aunts, cousins and all. Royal Caribbean are the experts when it comes to making sure there are plenty of thrills, wows, eats and chances to chill for everyone, as well as providing those important moments when you can all come together.
Trip notes
Perfect day
You don’t have to wait too long for the cruise to really get going – following a day at sea you’ll reach the private island paradise of CocoCay. If all you want to do is relax on one of the many beaches, that’s cool but there are also more waterslides (including the tallest in the Caribbean) at Thrill Waterpark, as well as a helium balloon that rises 137 metres to give you some pretty epic views.
Trip notes
After your cruise
If you don’t want the fun to stop, there’s no need to end the holiday once you’ve left the ship. The Space Coast is so close to Port Canaveral that you can see rocket launch pads from the dock. Head to your hotel for a two-night stay and spend your full day exploring the John F. Kennedy Space Center. And with more private launches taking place, the odds of seeing one is relatively good.
Days 1 to 7
Orlando, USA
Spend a thrilling week in the ‘Theme Park Capital of the World’, heaven for the young and young at heart. Head over to Walt Disney World Resort to meet iconic characters, watch Main Street parades and eat round the world. If thrill rides are more your vibe, visit Universal Orlando Resort’s trio of parks, where the immersive worlds can transport you miles or even galaxies away. Then there are the waterparks like Island H20 where you can cool off in the Sunshine State.
