Fort Lauderdale after cruise before flight

[CooperslaneDaisy]

Hey cruisers. We are going on our first cruise this January. 8 night Freedom of the seas out of Fort Lauderdale. We are travelling with another couple and will be kid free. Our flight home does not leave Florida until 7:30pm. What should we do after we leave the ship??? No idea what to do, where to go or what to do with our luggage. Help please.

Royal Caribbean offers several Ft. Lauderdale excursions for passengers with later flights. They take your luggage to the airport and you get it at the end of your tour when they drop you off at the airport.

 

You may also want to look at the North American ports/Ft. Lauderdale posts here on the board for other ideas.

Either take a post cruise shore excursion or rent a car, then can store your luggage in the car and have plenty of freedom to do whatever you want. Recommend doing an Everglades boat tour.

With a flight that late, I'd try and book a hotel room...have use of the pool, restaurant, tv, shower, etc...for the day.

You will likely be OFF the ship by 9am...that's A LOT of time to kill!

We rented a car after our recent Harmony of the Seas cruise. Went to the outlets in Sawgrass for a while to shop. Then headed for ft lauderdale beach, where we parked in the city lot near the intercostal bridge, found a restaurant, and walked around. We were able to kill the day that way in a relaxed manner.

Either rent a car as a way to store your luggage while you check out the local area - or get a day room at a hotel/motel with some facilities you can enjoy.
