luv2travel06 Posted February 10, 2014 #26 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I posted this awhile back on the Disability board' date=' but didn't get a response. Is there a place where we can take my DS, who is in a wheelchair, to watch the ships leave port?[/quote'] Take E Dania Beach Blvd all the way east, turn north and go to John U Lloyd Beach State Park. Once there, drive all the way to the end, the last parking lot. There is a boardwalk that takes you to the sidewalk to the pier. We did this in November after disembarking the Eurodam, and watched her sail back out on her next cruise. If we lived in the area, we would do it every weekend.

An addendum to that would be the John U Lloyd Park closes at sunset, so it would depend on what month of the year whether you would have enough daylight. The questionable months would probably be December-February. Edited February 10, 2014 by walty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, we just jumped to the other side of the channel marker, tossed the anchor, and waited for the tanker traffic to finish. I don't think they started heading out until the sun had already set. I would have a backup plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted February 11, 2014 #31 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Gilbert's by the Embassy Suites on 17th St. Great hamburger & best key lime pie ever (very reasonable prices). Same parking lot as Publix & Total Wines. Islamorada Fish House by Bass Pro Shops is excellent. Definitely water taxi have fun Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
