For another dinner option consider Fish Lips. The food is fine but the draw is that it's right on the inlet and it's fun to watch the ships go out. Last year our cruise was the day after our friends' so we got to wave to them as they left.
Also check to see if there's a rocket launch the night you're there... there are so many these days and it's really cool to see.
And I would take the earlier flight. As my husband likes to say, always make forward progress...

Earlier is a no brainer. In the worst case, you’ll drop your bags and do your shopping run.

Earlier, some hotels let you do early check in if the room is available.

Earlier. The hotel probably has a place where you can store your luggage until a room is available.

Based on these factors, which flight would you choose: one that arrives at 12:45 or one that arrives at 2:45?
My main concern with the earlier flight is luggage, since hotel check-in isn’t until 4pm. I know we could leave our bags and go sightseeing, which would give us more time and make things feel less rushed overall.
On the other hand, the 2:45 arrival would get us to Port Canaveral closer to 4pm, so we could check in, drop our bags, and then head out for dinner and hoodies. That seems simpler logistically, but also feels more rushed.
Curious what others would do.
HAHAHA you think your flight will arrive on time.
Do the earlier one don't be stupid.
Are you ok?

I have been to Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach too many times for work. If you are looking for dinner recommendations, Mangia Bevi in Cocoa Beach has great authentic Neopolitan pizza. It is walking distance from Ron Jon. In Canaveral, Thai Thai is good.
Thank you so much for the recommendations! Both sound great. I’m making note of them. Thanks again!
I chose the earlier flight. You are all correct that it’s wise to allow extra time for any delays.

Earlier. Less chance of flight issues and more time to pivot if needed. i assume the cruise is the next day?

You probably will be able to get a room somewhat earlier than 4pm.

Always earlier, if flight issues higher odds of making it to your destination by the end of day
