Royal Caribbean - Independence of the Seas - Our REVIEW

We recently set sail on a 3-day Bahamian cruise aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Independence of the Seas departing from Port Canaveral, Florida.  Our review is for this specific cruise only. Our boarding time was scheduled for 11:00am on embarkation day so we decided to head down to Florida a day early to avoid missing our cruise.  We stayed at the Hyatt Place Hotel in Titusville, Florida which is about 20-30min from Port Canaveral.  It made for an easy commute to Port Canaveral. Fun Fact: Embarkation is the process of loading a passenger ship    On the morning of our cruise, we left our hotel at 10:00am which turned out to be the perfect time to get us to the boarding station at 11:00am.  As we crossed the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway, our excitement level went through the roof at seeing the various cruise ships in port.      Our terminal was Terminal 1, which is Royal's main terminal at Port Canaveral.  The signage at the port was good at getting us to the right

Disney's Magical Express

Did you know?  Disney's Magical Express airport transfer service is going away.


With the news that Disney's Magical Express service will be coming to an end after 2021, what are your options for getting from the airport to your resort and back, you might ask?

Mears transportation, the same company that operated the Magical Express service for Disney, has other options to get you to your Disney resort and back to the airport.  They offer luxury chauffeured options with sedans, SUVs, vans and limousines as well as their own taxi service options with sedans and vans.  If you liked the Magical Express service, then we think you'll like their other services since it's the same company.

Other options include taxi services available in the airport taxi staging area, ride services like Uber and Lyft, and rental cars.

What about the future Brightline train service?  We're still a few years out from having a train station at Disney Springs.  Also, the cost versus the hassle of having to transfer to Disney transportation to reach your resort hotel after arriving at Disney Springs has yet to be seen as compared to other options.  We'll certainly keep an open mind and explore this option more in depth in the coming years.

So...what are your thoughts about Disney's Magical Express service coming to an end?  What service will you use to replace it?  We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
