xrayjng Posted December 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Any thing close to port to occupy some time? Got that email to not arrive before 12:30pm Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2013 A little reading down the board would bring up things like the Water Taxi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted December 3, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Lots of non-cruisers vacation in Fort Lauderdale - there is lots to do. Check out the tourism board's website: http://www.sunny.org. They even have a cruisers section :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2013 If you are checking out that morning from the hotel I would just arrive around 11:30 AM. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted December 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Agree with Keith that you should just head over to the port when you want late morning. Chances are you will board before 12:30. Some cruiselines just don't want the usual crazy rush at 10:30-11:00. Sounds like you won't be in ft the night before? Are you arriving via plane the morning of?

Langley Cruisers Posted December 3, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's a generic e-mail being sent to all passengers. There have been very few reports of actual delays, so I suggest heading over around 11 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayjng Posted December 5, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I am arriving early am. Ill hang out and wait I don't care. I just thought if some things were within walking of pier I would check it out. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port area is not pedestrian friendly and is a very large area. You can either hang out at the airport or take a taxi to the 17st area to have breakfast somewhere.

fireofficer5 Posted December 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2013 If your sailing from pier 2, Princess, you can walk to 17'th street. Theres stores there. Otherwise nothing is a short walk at Port Everglades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florissouri Posted December 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I am arriving early am. Ill hang out and wait I don't care. I just thought if some things were within walking of pier I would check it out. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app I would suggest you take your time and not arrive at the port before 1:30. I would say pack a bathing suit and towel in your carry-on and head to the beach, but what will you do with your luggage? You could rent a car for a few hours. It's also a bad idea to fly from up North the same day as your cruise. Edited December 6, 2013 by Florissouri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdiamond Posted December 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Assuming, arguendo, that you are sailing on Celebrity, no problem boarding 11:00-12:00 noon. Take your carry on with you; and, have a nice lunch onboard. Your cabin will probably be available between 1:00 and 1:30. On the S class you can eat a nice healthy lunch at the Aqua Spa Cafe; and, then repair to the Solarium for a relaxing snooze or some pool time.
