Florida
Florida has a few of the most beautiful port destinations in the world. The view when your cruise departs from Miami or Fort Lauderdale is truly memorable. But the most exciting part of cruising from Florida is being able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery, resorts, restaurants and activities before or after your cruise or for a vacation destination all in itself. We always plan a few days to explore a luxury resort added on to our cruise vacation. See below for reviews, photos and tips to use for virtually planning your own South Florida vacation in a few of our favorite areas or port destinations.

Virtual Hint: When packing for a cruise with families, always use lightweight, collapsible luggage for easy storage in your cabin. And don't attempt to squeeze it all into a small taxi when needing transportation from either Fort Lauderdale or Miami airport to your hotel or port. We always prearrange with Cata Black Car, a terrific and reasonable car service that meets us and takes us wherever we need to go. They'll hold up a sign so you can easily find them, assist with your luggage, and drive roomy, beautiful cars and SUV's...you'll feel like you are virtually on vacation already.
