PORTS OF CALL

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

As your travel advocates, we view the start of your vacation not as a logistical hurdle, but as the first chapter of your experience. For cruises departing from Fort Lauderdale, we strongly encourage you to treat the city as more than just a transit point. Arriving a day or two early transforms a potentially stressful travel day into a seamless, relaxing prelude to your voyage, and Fort Lauderdale is perfectly suited for this purpose.

Think of it as easing into vacation mode. Flying in the day of your cruise introduces unnecessary risk—a single flight delay or misplaced bag can jeopardize your entire trip. By arriving early, you trade that anxiety for the sophisticated, laid-back ambiance of the “Venice of America.” The city’s primary airport, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), is exceptionally convenient, located just a few miles from both the cruise terminals at Port Everglades and the city's best hotels. A short taxi or rideshare trip will have you checked in and ready to explore in no time.

**Your Pre-Cruise Itinerary Suggestion:**

**Day 1: Canals, Culture, and Cuisine**

After settling into your hotel, your first experience should be the one that defines the city: its waterways. Forget the rental car and embrace the Water Taxi. It’s not just transportation; it’s a brilliant sightseeing tour. As you cruise the 165 miles of inland canals, you’ll glide past stunning waterfront mansions, mega-yachts, and lush tropical gardens. It’s a relaxing and genuinely unique way to get your bearings and appreciate the city’s distinctive character.

Disembark at the stop for Las Olas Boulevard. This is the city’s heart—a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare lined with independent boutiques, captivating art galleries, and a superb collection of restaurants. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely afternoon stroll, perhaps stopping for a coffee or a cocktail at a sidewalk cafe. For dinner, Las Olas offers a range of options to suit any palate, from the classic Italian fare at Louie Bossi's Ristorante Bar Pizzeria to the upscale American cuisine at Lobster Bar Sea Grille. A celebratory pre-cruise dinner here sets a wonderful tone for the week ahead.

**Day 2: Beachfront Bliss and Natural Wonders**

Dedicate your morning to the iconic Fort Lauderdale Beach. This isn’t a rustic, deserted island; it’s a world-class urban beach, known for its wide, clean stretch of sand and the beautifully designed beachfront promenade. Rent a lounge chair and simply relax, or take a long walk along the signature “wave wall.” The atmosphere is vibrant yet far more relaxed than its southern neighbor, Miami Beach.

For the afternoon, you have two excellent, contrasting options:

1. **Cultural Immersion:** Visit the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. This historic 1920s estate is a true gem, offering a glimpse into Old Florida’s artistic and whimsical past. The house itself is filled with original art and furnishings, but the real star is the surrounding 35 acres of pristine barrier island habitat, complete with tropical gardens, a hibiscus garden, and even a resident population of monkeys. It’s an accessible, enriching cultural experience that feels a world away from the city bustle.

2. **Wilderness Adventure:** Experience the Florida Everglades. Several reputable operators offer half-day tours that include transportation and an unforgettable airboat ride. Skimming across the “River of Grass” is a thrilling experience, providing a profound sense of this unique ecosystem’s vastness. You’re almost guaranteed to see alligators in their natural habitat, along with a variety of wading birds. It’s a fantastic adventure that provides a dramatic counterpoint to the coastal elegance of the city.

By the time you wake up on embarkation day, you’ll be refreshed, acclimated, and already in a vacation mindset. The short, stress-free transfer to Port Everglades will feel like a simple next step, not a frantic race. Starting your journey this way ensures you board your ship ready to enjoy every moment, and that, in our view, is the foundation of a truly great vacation.

At Sea - Cruising

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Puerto Plata, nestled on the Dominican Republic’s lush Amber Coast, is a destination best suited for active travelers and nature enthusiasts. Its undeniable main event is the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, an exhilarating natural water park where you can hike, slide, and leap through a series of stunning cascades. It’s a genuinely memorable adventure, but be prepared for a physical challenge.

For an equally impressive but less strenuous experience, take the Teleférico—the only cable car in the Caribbean—to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres. The panoramic views of the coastline are spectacular, and you can wander through the botanical gardens surrounding the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.

Back in town, the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe offers a solid dose of colonial history right at the harbor’s edge. The city center itself has some charming Victorian architecture worth a brief stroll. For a true taste of the region, consider a tour and tasting at one of the local rum distilleries. While Puerto Plata isn't a sprawling metropolis, it offers a fantastic day of adventure and scenery for those ready to explore beyond the port.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

Charlotte Amalie is one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic and bustling ports, a place where vibrant commerce and stunning natural beauty exist side-by-side. While its reputation as a duty-free shopping mecca is well-earned, the true charm lies in knowing how to navigate its offerings.

The historic downtown is a compact grid of Danish colonial architecture, where 18th-century stone warehouses now house an extensive array of jewelry, liquor, and electronic stores. For a genuine sense of the old city, step away from the main thoroughfares and explore the quiet stone-paved alleys. A worthwhile challenge is the climb up the historic “99 Steps” (actually 103) for rewarding views over the harbor.

For many, the highlight of St. Thomas is escaping the city bustle. The Skyride to Paradise Point offers the definitive panoramic photograph of your ship in the turquoise harbor—it’s a tourist staple for good reason. Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. Magens Bay is the island’s most famous stretch of sand; it’s undeniably beautiful, but expect crowds and an entrance fee. For a different experience, consider Sapphire Beach for its excellent snorkeling right offshore or the more tranquil Lindquist Beach, a protected part of a nature park.

Practical Tip: Getting around is typically done via open-air “safari” taxis. These are multi-passenger trucks that operate on set routes with fixed, per-person fares. Confirm the price to your destination with the driver before you depart to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day exploring the island.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan is one of the most rewarding and historically significant ports in the Caribbean, and its greatest asset is proximity. Your ship docks at the edge of Old San Juan, a 500-year-old walled city that is a destination in its own right. Forget the organized bus tours; this is a port best explored on foot.

Step off the ship and you are immediately immersed in the atmosphere of blue cobblestone streets and pastel-hued colonial architecture. Your primary objective should be exploring the two massive Spanish citadels that bookend the old city. Start with Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fort in the Americas, then enjoy the scenic one-mile walk along the city wall to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro, which has guarded the harbor entrance for centuries. The scale and preservation of these UNESCO World Heritage sites are genuinely impressive.

Beyond the forts, the joy of San Juan is in the wandering. Discover shaded plazas, artisan shops on Calle del Cristo, and the famous Fortaleza Street. For a taste of authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, find a local spot for *mofongo* (a savory dish of mashed plantains) or enjoy a classic piña colada at Barrachina, one of the bars that claims to have invented it. While the famous beaches of Condado and Isla Verde are an option, they require a taxi and can consume valuable time. For a port day, the tangible history, vibrant culture, and culinary delights within the city walls offer a more than fulfilling experience.

Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau is a bustling hub, and your best day here requires a plan to navigate beyond the immediate, often-crowded port area. While it has its share of tourist traps, genuine Bahamian character is well within reach for those who know where to look.

For a dose of history, a short walk leads to the Queen's Staircase, a remarkable 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by enslaved people in the 18th century. It ascends to Fort Fincastle, which offers commanding views of the island. For a more refined local taste, the John Watling's Distillery on the historic Buena Vista Estate offers tours and tastings in a setting far removed from the downtown hustle.

If a classic beach day is your priority, we advise looking beyond the nearest options. A taxi to the quieter sands of Cable Beach or, for a more curated experience, a day pass to one of the major resorts on Paradise Island will provide the tranquil, turquoise-water escape you envision. These passes grant access to pristine private beaches and high-quality amenities, turning a potentially hectic port day into a truly relaxing one.

For the most authentic local flavor, take a taxi to Arawak Cay (known as 'The Fish Fry'). This is where Bahamians go for fresh conch salad, fried snapper, and a vibrant, casual atmosphere. It’s a world away from the port-side buffets and offers a true taste of the islands.

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
