I see some of this being discussed, but am looking for some specific help. We just booked a three-night cruise on the Wish for DW and DS(9) for his tenth birthday. Not doing anything at the parks so looking for best option for one night hotel near the cruise port. Not renting a car, so are there any that might include transportation from MCO to the hotel? Shuttle to port is absolutely required. Would have considered a one-night stay at All-Star until it priced out at $178/night before any transportation was factored in! A cursory look shows that the Radisson Resort at the Port seems to have the best price right now. Does anyone have experience with this place and do we have better options? Thanks for your help.
 
For just hotel the night before, i'd get something near the port and grab an Uber at the airport to get there. an Uber from the airport to Port Canaveral (or to nearby hotels) shouldn't be more than $100 one-way. But, probably closer to $60. Then you can just Uber from the hotel to the port, or many of the hotels have Cruise Shuttle service.

A quick search shows the Radisson Resort at the Port charges $33 per person one-way, which is pretty close to the high-side of the cost for the Uber. Uber gives you the benefit that it's your own schedule when your plane lands.
 
airport <> port is 45 miles so 'free' ride is pretty much off the table. Some 'packages' roll it into a price but you're paying for the ride.
UBER X was $65 airport to to just now (remember UBER prices are dynamic .... but this is pretty much average IME)

Radisson has been a popular one for quite some time .... IOW it's a lil dated now but is near the terminals and there's food within walking distance. Pool area has been the 'draw'.

These two places are actually CLOSER to the terminals and MUCH newer and not far from the R' ....

that's a Hampton Inn Suites and Home2 sharing one building. Opened in 2020 .... picture taken shortly b4 they opened. It is a V shape with a shared pool area in the V


There are a number of independent shuttle companies that can provide airport to port hotel ride. here's an example https://cocoabeachshuttle.com/

They can handle your return to the airport as well.

In the morning an UBER or standard taxi is all you need .... you can see the ships from these hotels . . .

Another option is to stay at the MCO Hyatt. The price might be too high, but 1) it might be cheaper if you book through Disney (it was about $70 less for me), and 2) you don't have to worry about getting transport twice before the cruise.
