Just Off the Ship at Port Canaveral?

Port Canaveral is one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, and if you’re reading this, you’re probably standing on solid ground with an appetite. Whether you’re fueling up before you board, celebrating the end of a great cruise, or staying in Cape Canaveral the night before you sail — you’re only about five minutes from a real Italian meal.

A Quick Hop From the Cruise Terminals

Kelsey’s sits at 8699 Astronaut Blvd in Cape Canaveral, roughly a five-minute drive from the Port Canaveral cruise terminals. Close enough for a quick lunch before sailaway, easy enough for the whole family or the whole crew. Whether you’re stepping off the ship hungry right after disembarking, or squeezing in one last local meal before sail-away, we’re just minutes away and ready when you are. Our kitchen keeps a port-day pace — fresh, fast and on time — so you can sit down to real Italian food and still make it back to the terminal with time to spare.
