laurenes9 Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I am sailing on the Oasis this Saturday and after getting off the ship around 10 AM (at the latest) the following week my flight isn't until almost 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on something local to do or somewhere to good to grab a bite to eat. We won't have our bags with us as we are planning on using the luggage valet service so we would rather wander around a bit than sit in the airport. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions!!

laurenes9 Posted August 14, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks for the help! The brunch at American Social definitely seems like a good option! As for the airboat trip, I know that it is offered through RCI, does anyone know what time leaves in the morning and returns to the airport?...I can't seem to find this info on the website.

JBoshears Posted August 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Everglades airboat ride. We are doing this in November after our Allure cruise. Do you know how far it is from the port? I'm assuming to take a taxi. Any ideas on how much that will cost us? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on how much that will cost us? Thanks! The Everglades park is about 25 miles from the port and airport so a taxi would be expensive. It might make more sense to book an excursion. My favorite area to wander around is Las Olas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excursions to Everglades will have you at the airport 12:30-1:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhraformula00 Posted August 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Air boat tour to see aligators through Royal gets back to the airport before 1 PM. Price was around $60 PP. We enjoyed it. The air boats do not go real fast, and you will see plenty of gators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearette Posted August 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2014 We had a later flight so we rented a car and drive to an airboat tour. A fun way to kill some time and having the car meant we could stop and stay as long as we wanted.

TXMary Posted August 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Last October we did the river boat excursion of FLL offered through RCI after our Allure cruise. This year we had planned on doing the Everglades excursion through RCI, but it's not offered for our sailing. The only one we have on our cruise is a tour of Miami. We are flying out of FLL and not until around 4 PM. Still trying to decide what we are going to do, but I'm wondering why the Everglades tour or for that matter, the river boat one isn't offered for our upcoming cruise. Odd.

tncap Posted August 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm looking for a good brunch recommendation (bottomless mimosas a plus! :p) for a Saturday before the cruise. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have brunch at American Social just about every Sunday and it is fantastic. $22 all you can eat, made to order omlets, crab legs, shrimp, bacon, sausage, etc. $10 extra for bottomless mimosas. Boozy Brunch is the best meal of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akeasley Posted August 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Maybe take a ride on the Carrie-B. It's a nice boat ride through the intercostal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
