Extending a RC Cruise, what else do you do?

[AngieInOH]

We are thinking about doing a 4 night cruise out of Port Canaveral in May. I'd like to stay a few extra nights and do something else nearby. Any suggestions that are not Disney? My girls, both 16, would like to try something different.

How about Universal.

We've done Universal several times. I prefer to do theme parks in winter.

I totally get that after doing Universal in July. Way too hot. I don't know what there is to do in Orlando other than theme parks. Maybe rent a car and drive down to Fort Lauderdale or Miami. I love Fort Lauderdale. There's a lot of great hotels on the beach.

I was thinking about booking Utopia first week of January, but now because I don't want to do theme parks I'm leaning towards the 7 night on Symphony. Flights and price are a real PITA that week. I'm still thinking about it, but I don't want to fly to Florida for a 4 day cruise either. It's cheaper to do a 7 night cruise than a four night and theme parks. I'm struggling to find reasonable flights out of Miami that time of year.

Have you been to Kennedy Space Center? If not, I'd combine that with a couple days at the beach.
