Time for NASA with 5:00 departure?

[wildchild22]

We will be sailing Mariner out of Port Canaveral March 19th. We will be staying at the Radisson near the port and was wondering if we would have time to take in the Kennedy Space Center. Itinerary lists departure time as 5:00PM. Thanks

Yes, if you get there first thing. I used to live down there, and my father worked for NASA, so its definetly a must see, but to tell you the truth, I would do it a day early so you can check out the Cocoa Bch, Port Canaveral, Patrick AFB area. If you do have a chance to eat before boarding, or if you are looking for a place to eat the day before, check out the restaurants across the port from where the ships are anchored. (Tiki, or Rustys) Great tuna fillets, and the atmosphere is awesome.
