9:00 AM - 12:00 PM – So Little Room, So Much to See (The Complete Pediatric Dental Exam)
Every pediatric dental examination is a new patient examination because of the dynamics of growth and development. There is much to see in the mouths of children other than caries and loose teeth. This program covers aspects of the pediatric dental examination including recognition of anomalies, growth and development, symmetry and balance of the dentition and other components that make examinations on children unique. Clinical and radiographic photographs illustrate the areas of discussion.
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM – The Latest in Pediatric Dentistry
So, what's new in the world of pediatric dentistry? Indications for and treatment of pulpotomies and non-vital primary teeth have changed, the variety of full coverage crowns has exploded, faster and painless anesthesia is now a real possibility, minimally invasive treatment is more popular, and more emphasis is now being placed on obstructive sleep apnea, its etiology and how to treat it effectively. These topics will bring dentists more fully informed about developments in pediatric dentistry.

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM – The Care and Feeding of a Healthy Brain
Let's better understand the workings of our brain. Maximizing our brain health creates a life replete with vitality, resilience, and optimal well-being. Learn how your daily food choices are a foundation for better brain and overall health. Discover ways to increase your neuroplasticity by incorporating realistic strategies. You will deal more easily and effectively with your patients, as well as your family and friends, when your brain is working efficiently.
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM – Behavior Management of Patients, Parents and Yourself
Pediatric dentistry requires dentists to successfully communicate with and manage the behavior of both children and parents. They must also manage their own behavior as well. Techniques are discussed and shown in videos of patients in treatment. Dental training focuses on technical aspects, but for children excellent care is only possible with proper handling of patients. Parents are often the entertainment and not the “problem” that most believe.

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM – The Power of a Healthy Biome
Scientific evidence continues to mount for the importance of feeding and caring for your biome. It is intimately connected with your brain health, immune system, and much more. Learn ways to tweak your daily eating for significant health strides. A busy life does not preclude a happy, healthy biome.
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM – Dealing with Parent Demands
Patients come into our practices and question treatment recommendations because of their “knowledge” gleaned from the internet. We will explore how to deal with this, including issues such as x-rays, esthetic crowns and fluoride. These tools will help dentists to communicate effectively when faced with demands from patients.

ITINERARY
This seven-night Eastern Caribbean voyage balances the engineered leisure of a private island with the genuine history of the West Indies. Departing from Port Canaveral, the route visits Coco Cay for a dedicated beach day before reaching the cultural highlight of the trip: San Juan, Puerto Rico. Here, the ship docks within walking distance of the historic walled city, allowing for independent exploration of its fortifications and streets. The journey continues to St. Maarten, where the bustling Dutch capital of Philipsburg offers a lively commercial atmosphere. With three days at sea, the itinerary relies heavily on the Star of the Seas to act as a destination in itself, giving you ample time to utilize the resort-scale amenities of this modern vessel. October sailing dates offer warm temperatures perfect for Caribbean waters, providing a straightforward escape that combines convenience with accessible history.

PORTS OF CALL
Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida
While many travelers treat Port Canaveral merely as a functional transit point—a place to park the car and board the ship—we encourage a different perspective. Situated at the intersection of human ingenuity and subtropical leisure, this region offers a compelling argument for extending your vacation by two or three days. By anchoring your cruise with a stay in Central Florida, you transform a simple Caribbean loop into a diverse journey combining the engineering marvels of the Space Coast with the surprisingly sophisticated cultural and culinary landscape of Orlando and Winter Park.
**The Cerebral Adventure: Kennedy Space Center**
For the educated traveler, the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Visitor Complex is the region's undisputed highlight. It is essential to distinguish this from a typical theme park; it is an active launch facility and a living museum of aerospace history. We advise allocating a full, unhurried day here. The experience is less about adrenaline rides and more about the profound realization of what humanity can achieve.
Begin with the **Space Shuttle Atlantis** exhibit. The reveal of the orbiter—displayed with payload doors open as if in orbit—is theatrically staged and genuinely moving, particularly for those who remember the shuttle era. Walk beneath the massive Saturn V rocket in the Apollo/Saturn V Center; the sheer scale of the F-1 engines provides a visceral understanding of the power required to leave Earth. We also recommend the newer **Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex**, which focuses on current commercial spaceflight and the future of Mars exploration. If your schedule aligns, check the launch calendar; viewing a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from the Banana Creek viewing area is an unforgettable auditory and visual experience.
**Nature and Decompression: The Space Coast**
Directly adjacent to the technology of KSC lies the **Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge**. This 140,000-acre sanctuary offers a serene counterpoint to the bustling port. A drive along Black Point Wildlife Drive often yields sightings of alligators, roseate spoonbills, and manatees, providing a quiet interlude before the crowds of a cruise ship.
For a relaxed evening near the port, **Cocoa Beach** offers an authentic slice of Florida surf culture. While the town can be touristy, the historic Cocoa Beach Pier and the iconic Ron Jon Surf Shop remain landmarks worth a quick visit. For dining, we recommend avoiding the chains. Instead, head to the Port Canaveral waterfront (The Cove). Restaurants like **Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar** or **Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill** offer fresh, locally caught seafood in a casual, open-air setting where you can watch fishing fleets and cruise vessels navigate the channel.
**The Sophisticated Side of Orlando: Winter Park**
Approximately 50 minutes west of the port lies Orlando. While the theme parks are the primary draw for millions, we direct discerning travelers to **Winter Park**. This historic, affluent enclave feels worlds away from the neon lights of International Drive and offers a European-style pacing that many professionals appreciate.
Center your visit on **Park Avenue**, a cobblestone thoroughfare lined with independent boutiques, sidewalk cafes, and canopy oaks. Cultural enrichment is easily accessible here. The **Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art** houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, including his stunning chapel interior from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. For a relaxing overview of the area's history and architecture, the **Scenic Boat Tour** provides an hour-long cruise through the Winter Park Chain of Lakes, navigating narrow, hand-dug canals and offering views of historic estates.
Winter Park is also the epicenter of Central Florida's culinary maturation, recently recognized by the Michelin Guide. We recommend **Prato** for modern Italian cuisine with a vibrant atmosphere, or **The Ravenous Pig**, a gastropub that pioneered the local farm-to-table movement. For a refined evening, **The Alfond Inn** displays a contemporary art collection from Rollins College that rivals many dedicated galleries.
**Navigating the Theme Parks as an Adult**
If you choose to visit the major theme parks, we suggest a targeted approach focused on design and immersion rather than ride counts.
* **Epcot:** This is generally the most adult-friendly park, particularly during its rotating festivals (Food & Wine, Flower & Garden, Festival of the Arts). The World Showcase offers a pleasant, if stylized, culinary tour, and the new *Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind* is a marvel of ride engineering.
* **Disney’s Hollywood Studios & Universal's Islands of Adventure:** For those interested in environmental storytelling, *Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge* (Disney) and *The Wizarding World of Harry Potter* (Universal) are masterclasses in immersive design. The attention to detail—from the soundscapes to the architecture—can be appreciated on a purely artistic level, regardless of your fandom.
**Logistics and Practical Advice**
* **Transportation:** The drive between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Port Canaveral takes approximately 45–50 minutes via SR-528 (The Beachline). We strongly recommend a **rental car** if you plan to explore Winter Park or KSC, as it offers the freedom to move between districts without relying on surging ride-share prices.
* **Timing:** Traffic in Orlando, particularly on I-4, is notoriously heavy. Always pad your travel times by 30 minutes, especially if heading back to the port for embarkation.
**Suggested Pre-Cruise Itinerary (2 Nights)**
* **Day 1:** Fly into MCO. Pick up a rental car and stay at a hotel in Winter Park (e.g., The Alfond Inn) or the Lake Nona area. Spend the evening strolling Park Avenue and dining at a local gastropub.
* **Day 2:** Drive east to the Kennedy Space Center. Arrive at opening (9:00 AM) to beat the crowds. Spend the full day exploring the Atlantis and Saturn V exhibits. In the late afternoon, drive to a hotel near Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach. Enjoy a casual seafood dinner at the port waterfront.
* **Day 3 (Embarkation):** Enjoy a slow morning and a walk on the beach or a visit to the Wildlife Refuge. Return the rental car (most major agencies have shuttles to the cruise terminals) and board your ship relaxed and culturally enriched.
By treating Port Canaveral as a destination rather than a doorway, you ensure your vacation begins the moment you land, not just when the ship leaves the dock.
Coco Cay, Bahamas
Coco Cay is a private destination engineered specifically for leisure rather than cultural immersion. While it lacks the authenticity of a historic Bahamian settlement, it excels at providing a frictionless, high-quality beach day. The island is zoned by energy level: the Thrill Waterpark features high-adrenaline slides and wave pools, while the massive Oasis Lagoon offers a lively resort-pool atmosphere.
For a more sophisticated experience away from the high-energy crowds, the Coco Beach Club is the standout option. Though it requires a significant additional fee, the access to an infinity pool, elevated dining, and overwater cabanas offers a necessary respite from the island's busier sectors. If you prefer a standard beach day without the upcharge, Chill Island provides ample seating and calm waters. Treat this stop as a polished extension of the ship’s amenities—a safe, clean, and highly managed environment designed purely for relaxation and aquatic fun.
At Sea - Cruising
San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.
Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. We recommend starting at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.
Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.
Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.
Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.
To experience the island's true charm, we recommend crossing the border to the French side. The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture, though it has been slower to recover from past hurricanes than the Dutch side. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.
Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices. Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique. For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.
A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to Philipsburg.
