Living in the Sunshine State has its undeniable perks, and one of the most best is the proximity to some of the world’s most popular cruise ports. If you’re a Florida resident, you’re in a prime position to embark on unforgettable cruise adventures without straying far from home. Welcome to our guide on “Florida Resident Cruise Hacks: Making the Most of Your Local Advantage.” We’ll give you tips and tricks to make the most of your next voyage. Your next adventure begins here- let’s cruise the Florida way!

1. The Florida Resident Advantage
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents Happy family of four with map on the beach](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/beach-map-1024x402.jpg)
One of the best advantages of being a Florida resident is the access to exclusive deals and discounts. Some cruise lines such as Disney and Royal Caribbean often have a special Florida Resident Cruise Discount. Even if your party includes some non-Floridians, typically only one guest needs to provide a valid proof of a residency for everyone in your room to take advantage of the savings. Before booking, review your cruise line’s residency requirements to make sure you qualify for these special offers.
2. Pick the Right Port
Florida is home to five ports, four on the Atlantic and one on the Gulf Coast. While all of Florida’s ports have a wide selection of cruise lines and itineraries, one port stands out above the rest: Port Canaveral.
Port Canaveral is the #1 port in the world , beating Port Miami for the first time in modern cruising history. It is convenient, charming, and offers a variety of cruise options. This makes it an excellent choice for your next vacation. Situated on the stunning Atlantic coast puts this port just a short drive from major Florida cities, making it accessible for residents across the state.
This Central Florida port is home to some of the world’s largest and most innovative cruise ships including the Carnival Magic, Norwegian Epic, and Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. Royal Caribbean’s new Utopia of the Seas , dubbed “The World’s Biggest Weekend,” will also be making its home port in Port Canaveral in the summer of 2024.
It’s no surprise that Disney Cruise Line’s fleet also homeports on the Space Coast considering it’s close proximity to Orlando attractions. With theme parks, the Kennedy Space Center and beaches nearby, Port Canaveral is sure to have enjoyable activities for cruisers of all ages.
3. Timing Your Cruise
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents Sexy bikini body woman playful on paradise tropical beach having fun playing splashing water in freedom with open arms. Beautiful fit body girl on luxury travel vacation.](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bigstock-Sexy-bikini-body-woman-playful-160393778-1024x402.jpg)
Timing is everything when it comes to planning a cruise and it’s not just about choosing the right season. Understanding when to book and when to set sail can really help you find some great cruise discounts.
Off-Peak Seasons: Florida ports are active year-round, even during off-seasons. Scheduling your tropical getaway between popular vacation times can save you the big bucks on cruise travel. Even if you don’t see a significant price drop on every off-season sailing, you can still count on most major cruise lines to promote their own value-added perks. These often include complimentary wi-fi, drink packages, shore excursions, spa packages or even extra onboard credit.
Last-Minute Deals: Flexibility can pay off when hunting for Florida resident cruise deals. Keep an eye out for last-minute offers that cruise lines sometimes release to fill remaining cruise cabins. If you’re looking to save money, setting sail on a whim can lead to remarkable savings.
4. Pack a Carry-On
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents Packed suitcase, beach chair and accessories at sea shore. Vacation concept](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bigstock-Packed-suitcase-beach-chair-a-192781258-1024x402.jpg)
In case you plan to leave your luggage at the pier for the staff to bring them to your room, it’s essential to pack a bag for the day. Your checked luggage may not arrive at your room until hours after the ship has left the port so keep any cruise essentials you need for the afternoon easily at hand. Stuff your sunscreen, swimsuit and a towel in your carry-on to make the most of embarkation day instead of waiting on your suitcase.
5. Don’t Park at the Port
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents car pic](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/car-pic-.jpg)
Parking at the cruise terminal can cost you a pretty penny- upwards of $136 for a 7-day cruise. That seems a little steep for a place to just park your car. Instead of parking directly at the port, it’s a good idea to consider using an off-site parking lot to cut your costs. However, be sure to watch out for hidden fees including booking fees, taxes and even holiday or weekend price surges when searching for your off-site lot.
If you’re cruising out of Port Canaveral on the Carnival Mardi Gras , you’ll be able to take advantage of the best parking deal in the area! Go Port offers a parking package where you don’t need to worry about pay-per-day rates or hidden fees.
6. BYO Beverages
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents chilled colorful beverages in ice box. summer party ** Note: Shallow depth of field](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bigstock-Chilled-Colorful-Beverages-In-69883924-1024x402.jpg)
Cruise companies are typically strict about carrying hard spirits onboard, but they usually allow you to bring a couple of bottles of wine or champagne in your hand luggage. However, be aware that if you choose to consume your bottle in the dining area, you might be charged a corkage fee. Some cruise lines also allow you to bring a limited quantity of sparkling water, sodas, juice or milk onboard.
Be sure to check your cruise line’s beverage policy for more information:

7. Extend Your Vacation
![last minute cruise deals for florida residents Family on beach vacation](https://www.goport.com/cruise-blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bigstock-Family-on-beach-vacation-30047474-1024x402.jpg)
Expert cruisers generally arrive a day or two before embarkation to avoid any travel mishaps and explore the surrounding port city. Especially in Port Canaveral, there’s no shortage of things to do. Cruisers can visit the theme parks in Orlando, explore the Kennedy Space Center or soak up the sun on Cocoa Beach – just to name a few. If you’re cruising out of Port Canaveral, Go Port offers packages including everything you need to extend your vacation and get to your cruise on time. Their Snooze Park Cruise Package which includes a hotel stay, cruise transfers and cruise parking exclusively for Carnival Mardi Gras is the most recommended option for Florida residents driving in.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Deals Guide
When it comes to planning the ultimate getaway, there are so many reasons why cruise vacations rank among the most popular travel options. First of all, they’re completely stress-free. On a cruise vacation, all the planning is taken care of by the cruise line — from the destinations you sail to and the shore excursions available at each port, to a full range of entertainment and activities happening onboard every day. If you’re not a planner, or if the only things you’re looking to focus on during your getaway is savoring great food, relaxing, and soaking up the sights, cruise vacations are the way to go. A cruise vacation is also a great option if you’re traveling with the whole family, especially when you opt for a Royal Caribbean cruise. All of the ships in this cruise line’s fleet offer family-friendly experiences for guests of all ages. Even little ones will find plenty of ways to play with spaces and activities designed for tots to tweens. One of the top reasons savvy travelers love cruising, though, is because of the incredible value it offers. With Royal Caribbean, your cruise fare includes access to most of the ship’s attractions, select dining venues and all of the entertainment onboard. If you want to make your experience even more all-inclusive, you can opt for beverage and specialty dining packages that cover drinks and dinner at some of the most exclusive restaurants in the fleet. On top of all that, the cruise line presents frequent limited-time offers and seasonal sales, making it easy to score big savings when booking your vacation.
I’m ready to start planning my cruise — how can I score the best deals?
Whether you’re looking to book a short getaway or a longer adventure to far-flung destinations, Royal Caribbean makes it easy to save big on everything from your cruise fare to special experiences onboard and onshore. The first step to making sure you get the best deals is to join the cruise line’s email list. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive regular updates on all the latest offers, like deals by destination , kids sail free promotions and flash sales. The savings don’t end when you book your cruise, though. Once you’ve made a reservation, you’ll also receive notifications about special offers for onboard experiences — like discounts on beverage and specialty dining packages, shore excursions, spa services, and more via My Royal Cruise .
Does it pay to plan ahead, or should I wait until the last minute?
It’s an age-old question — does the early bird really get the worm, or are there perks to taking a “wait-and-see” approach? If you’re booking a cruise vacation, you’ll find there are benefits to both strategies. Planning ahead is a great way to score big savings , as Royal Caribbean often runs early saver deals to guests booking well in advance. It’s also pretty safe to assume prices usually go up as availability goes down the closer you get to your sail date, so booking ahead is a surefire way to lock in a great rate. That said, booking a cruise at the last minute can also yield some unexpected savings — but only if the itinerary you’re interested in hasn’t sold out yet.
If you can be flexible when it comes to your travel dates, you’ll have your pick of unbeatable savings. Popular vacation dates — like the holidays , spring break , summer vacation and week long cruises — sometimes see the highest prices (though you might get lucky with a seasonal sale). If you have the flexibility to travel during the shoulder season or off season, you’ll likely enjoy big savings on popular stateroom categories , like Balconies and even Suites. The deals don’t only apply to your cruise fare, though. Once you’ve booked your vacation, you could easily unlock discounts and specials on add-ons, including beverage and dining packages , Voom® high speed internet, shore excursions, and amazing experiences not included in your cruise fare — like a day of pampering at Vitality SM Spa, a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship’s galley followed by brunch, VIP seating at shows, and much more.
How can I maximize the value of my cruise vacation?
There are plenty of ways to get more bang for your buck when you sail on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Every ship in the fleet offers a range of delicious complimentary dining options , but you can dig into even more crave-worthy flavor by purchasing a Specialty Dining Package for less ahead of your cruise. Add a Specialty Beverage Package — which includes unlimited alcoholic beverages, soda, and more — and your experience is as close to all-inclusive as it gets. And with so many complimentary shows and attractions onboard, you can easily fill every sea day without spending a single dollar extra.
Royal Caribbean also offers deals based on departure ports and destinations, so if you’re a flexible traveler looking for great savings, you can plan your next vacation around which itineraries are on sale. Just check your email or visit RoyalCaribbean.com/cruise-deals to stay up to date on promotions, sales and special offers. You can even browse sailings and deals by homeport, destination and season, so you can rest assured you’re getting the best possible deal no matter when or where in the world you choose to set sai.

Find unbeatable deals and new experiences by taking a trip on the open ocean. Discover delicious cuisine and all-inclusive amenities aboard a luxurious cruise ship. Meet new people or have an unbelievable time with your loved ones. Here’s what you’ll find when searching for last-minute cruises.
The Advantages of Last-Minute All-Inclusive Cruises
1. unbeatable deals.
One of the most enticing aspects of last-minute all-inclusive cruises is the potential for unbeatable deals. As departure dates draw near, cruise lines often reduce prices to fill remaining cabins. This opens up opportunities for savvy travelers to enjoy luxurious voyages at a fraction of the original cost. The spontaneity of last-minute bookings can lead to surprising affordability, making cruising accessible to a wider range of individuals.
2. Flexibility in Itineraries
Last-minute cruises offer a level of flexibility that appeals to those with unpredictable schedules or a desire to explore without a set plan.

3. Avoiding Overplanning Stress
Planning a vacation can sometimes be stressful, with detailed itineraries, accommodation arrangements, and sightseeing plans.

This reduces pressure on travelers trying to save money while also trying to get the most out of their time off. And for retirees, this makes for a more relaxing experience overall.
