Have been to KSC many times with family and friends. It is really a full day or more to see the total complex. Will take about an hour to get to the center which leaves about four hours. Although there is a lot to do and see as far as exhibits and theaters for movies at the main center the real sights are bus tours out to the different launch pads, work and training centers, launch facility, Saturn V Rocket complex, all where you get off of the coaches and spend as much time as you want and then catch another coach to the next attraction. This is about a good three hour or more trip.

The really only gives you a little over 4hrs at Kennedy at best. You would not be able to see and enjoy everything the center has to offer... So I guess it depends on if the cost is worth it for you? I live by Disney and go to Kennedy a couple times a yr, and I still spend a solid 6 or 7 hrs there... eapecially with the new Deep Space Travel center. Getting there after noon, you will be behind the crowd wave, so the lines will slow you down for sure.

I just saw your cruise is Christmas week.... Yes, you will have a HUGE crowd that week. The Orlando area / Central FL is swamped that week. Its the most tourists the entire yr. Good luck!

We did it on our own several years ago. Lyft to and from for 4 adults. Paid entry fee at the KSC not in advance. Going again in November with 7 Adults and 3 children. Planning our own transportation again but may purchase entry in advance.

We are local. There will be a lot of people during Christmas break because schools are out, but KSC is so worth it. You will only get to see a little bit of it, but if you plan to do the things you most want to do, you'll enjoy it. it will be a bit of a price for only 4 hours so you definitely need to think about that. It's definitely something you will enjoy no matter what. have a great cruise and if you go to KSC . . . have a great time.

Check their hrs to make sure you have at least 5hrs... otherwise you will not get to see even the main attractions.

you don't need to book excursion, taxi or uber there and do the same back just give your self plenty of time. it's not far from the port.
