Overview
Cruise Itinerary
A cruise out of Fort Lauderdale is one of the most popular ways to experience the best of the Caribbean, but this coastal South Florida city is a worthy destination in and of itself. Port Everglades is the main cruise port near Fort Lauderdale, but just a few miles away you’ll find beautiful white-sand beaches, a lively food and shopping scene, and cerulean blue waterways dotted with impressive yachts and sailboats.
Want to discover the best of Fort Lauderdale like a local? Go for an early-morning stroll along the Fort Lauderdale Beach promenade and watch the sun rise over the water. Then grab breakfast beachside at one of the many open-air cafes that line the waterfront. If you’re looking for a wilder way to spend the day, set out on an eco-kayak tour through mangrove forests, calm bays, and emerald-green inlets — Fort Lauderdale is home to more than 300 miles of waterways, which has earned it the nickname, “Venice of America.” Plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your vacation early.
Perfect Day at CocoCay is a private destination exclusively for Royal Caribbean guests, located in the Bahamas. You'll find endless ways to chill out and enjoy beautiful beaches and pristine water, plus thrilling experiences like the incredible Thrill Water Park, ziplining and every water sport you can imagine.
Conquer the tallest waterslide in North America and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Floating Cabana.
Grand Bahama Island is one of the most popular in The Bahamas chain, with its postcard-perfect beaches made of sand that shimmers like pearls, fronting clear waters in every hue of blue. Alongside its beaches, the island is known for its reef-lined coves, mangrove swamps, golf courses and friendly locals. Ships will dock at Lucayan Harbour.
Top Things to Do in Grand Bahama Island:
- explore Lucayan National Park
- enjoy the local speciality, Conch Salad
- shop at Port Lucaya Marketplace
- swim with the pigs at Crystal Beach
