Florida dominates the 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 we recommend arriving at least 2-3 hours prior to departure to ensure a smooth check-in and boarding process. All ship amenities are open and ready, so kickstart your vacation with a refreshing drink or a delicious snack.

Ernest Hemingway made wild, colorful Key West his home, and you will want to do the same. Home to modern-day adventurers, artists, and poets, the island’s charming Old Town teems with restaurants, bars, and unique shops. Add pristine coral reefs, coconut palms, and a laid-back attitude that’s truly contagious, and it’s easy to see why so many visitors to Key West never leave. 

At Sea

Bustling markets and tranquil beaches define the vibrant spirit of Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. Just three blocks from the port, the Nassau Straw Market brims with vendors, shoppers, and pirates, offering authentic local crafts. Minutes away, expansive white-sand beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs beckon, perfect spots for observing sharks, swimming with dolphins, or enjoying water slides for the young and young at heart. 

Arrive in Fort Lauderdale and disembark the ship with memories to last a lifetime!
