Sun, Apr 18, 2027 – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Depart Fort Lauderdale at 4:00 pm.
In the 1800s, William Lauderdale built a fort. Today, 16 million visitors come each year for miles of broad white sandy beaches, dozens of lush green golf courses, and Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale.
Stroll the famous beachfront promenade, just 15 minutes from the port, and plunge into the warm Atlantic.
Head downtown to Las Olas Boulevard, paralleling New River, to:
Stop at Stranahan House, the city's oldest structure, built in 1901 as a trading post and preserved as a museum, or explore a whole village of historic buildings at History Fort Lauderdale.
Join a Segway tour along the river or a waterborne cruise of Millionaire's Row.
Head out to the Everglades and enjoy Flamingo Gardens, home to pink flamingos, snarling alligators, black bears, and Florida panthers—plus exotic trees, butterfly gardens, and native flowers.
You’ll find great shopping:
Discover Floribbean cuisine, a fusion of old Florida favorites with new Caribbean influences. Local seafood includes lobster, grouper, mahi-mahi, pompano, snapper, tuna, and stone crabs.
Florida dominates production of citrus fruits. Before you cruise from Fort Lauderdale, take advantage of anything orange—juices, sauces, marinades, marmalades, dressings, soups, and cakes. Try authentic key lime pie, which is sweet, tart, creamy, and yellow (not green) in a Graham cracker crust.
Your ship departs promptly at 4:00 pm, so arriving at the terminal at least 2–3 hours early is recommended to smoothly navigate check-in and boarding. All ship amenities are open and ready, so you can kickstart your vacation with a refreshing drink or a delicious snack once on board.
