Need help with a full day after the cruise????

[Momma Mojito]

Our flight home isn't until 9:30 p.m. after our cruise. One of the things the four of us would like to do is go ride the boats in the Everglades. Are there different companies that do this I'm up for suggestions on how we go about getting there once we leave the ship. Also if this doesn't take most of the day what else can we do. We are doing the Water taxi before the cruise, so even though we enjoy it we don't want to do it again.. We won't have our luggage because Princess offers EZ Check and our airline accepts it. Once we are ready to go to the airport from Ft. Lauderdale what would be your suggestions

 

Thanks in advance

Start your research at http://www.sunny.org.

 

Are you planning to rent a car? If not, the Everglades parks are quite a ways away from the port, so check the website above and contact those you are interested in and see if they offer transportation to/from Fort Lauderdale.

 

While you will have already done the water taxi pre-cruise, if you missed the Hollywood Route (heads south from the HIlton Marina thru Port Everglades to Hollywood) you might want to do that. The Broadwalk in Hollywood is very nice.

 

There is plenty to do around Las Olas Blvd (http://www.lasolasboulevard.com) including a museum district, lots of restaurants, galleries, etc.

 

I would suggest a leisurely disembarkation, a trip to one of the Everglades parks, then a return to Las Olas. Spend the afternoon there and have an early dinner in one of the many restaurants.
