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.

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.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

Grand Turk, Turks And Caicos

Grand Turk is a picturesque island offering a serene counterpoint to your onboard studies. With a relaxed pace and a warm, friendly atmosphere, this is a place to truly unplug. There are no fast-food chains and no sprawling resorts, preserving an authentic Caribbean charm that feels a world away from your daily routine.

Your day begins at the modern cruise center, with immediate access to the crystalline waters and white sands of Governor’s Beach. While the port’s amenities are inviting, the island’s true treasures are just a short ride away. Rent a golf cart—a popular and enjoyable way to explore—and venture into historic Cockburn Town. Here, you’ll find pastel-hued Bermudian architecture lining quiet streets, a legacy of the island's salt-raking past. Visit the Turks & Caicos National Museum to delve into the area's rich maritime history, including the famous Molasses Reef Wreck.

For underwater enthusiasts, Grand Turk is legendary. The island is renowned for its dramatic wall diving, where the reef plummets thousands of feet just offshore, creating a vibrant ecosystem accessible even to snorkelers. An excursion to Gibbs Cay offers an unforgettable, gentle encounter with friendly southern stingrays in shallow, turquoise water. Depending on the season, your visit may coincide with the migration of North Atlantic humpback whales (winter) or the graceful presence of manta rays (summer). As you explore, don't be surprised to see the island's wild donkeys and horses roaming freely—a charming quirk of this unforgettable port of call.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • 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

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
