The ship arrived in Port Canaveral around 10:00 AM. We purchased the Kennedy Space Center Tour from NCL excursion. We paid $72.00 for each adults and $62.00 for each children. The KSC bus was already waiting by the time we got off the ship. Unless you're into Spaceship, Aircraft, anything outer space like my DS, I found KSC boring and not worth my money.
I found the lanyard with packet very helpful for my keycard and driver's license. It's easy to take it in/out for scanning when you do on-board purchases, opening your cabin and getting in/out of the ship. Each of us had one. My DS tucked his inside his shirt.
We had dinner at the Magenta, one of the ship's main dining area. The service was slow but the food was good and worth the wait. It took 30 minutes before our waiter came to our table. The assistant maitre 'd was always around and very helpful to speed things up. A waiter named Adan was such a joy to have. He was not actually our waiter. He came from the same country as us (we're originally from the Philippines and our home base now is NY state. All our children were US-born). Adan took over and made us feel like we have our very own butler. We heard the people that he served before us made a comment like how much they enjoyed his services. So did we.
