Overview

Sail out of Fort Lauderdale, eat, drink and spa your way over to Europe and work on your tan for a few days in the Caribbean before you arrive in the Canary Islands already on Europe time. On board there is a full wellness and dance schedule with yoga, Pilates, sound baths(If that's your thing) and aqua workouts, plus pickleball and space to work on your golf swing, or you can sit at the bar and gamble all night in the casino instead.

I am looking at it as vacation prep on the way to Europe, with mani‑pedis, massages, reflexology and a lot of great food so I wake up ready to pound the cobblestones once I get there.
