What's your favorite FL port?

[chrismch]

We've mostly traveled out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale and recently did one from Tampa.  We'll be moving to FL soon and it seems all the ports are an easy drive. Which are your favorite departure ports and why?

Even though I haven't been, Miami is undoubtably my favorite port! Depending on the day, cruise ship heaven and beautiful sail aways await!

Canaveral for ease of getting there (from central FL), variety of itineraries and ships. Tampa for easy access and parking is our second choice. but it seems to be mostly western itineraries (not always).

I've done the Caribbean many times and am looking for new destinations. I want to do a transatlantic and I think most of those ships go out from the eastern side of FL and not Tampa.

For convenience, Port Canaveral. For pre or post cruise enjoyment,  Miami. Overall Vancouver B C

Fort Lauderdale is our favorite. So close to everything, port, airport, beach, downtown, all within 10-12 min ride. We love staying on the 17th street area. Very easy to either walk to eat or $1 bus ride to the beach.

Most responses...Port Canavaral.  That is a growing port. I've never embarked from there, but had it as a stop on a cruise from Quebec to Miami.
