Saturday, July 9th – Ft. Lauderdale, FL
- 8:00 am: Disembarkation begins.
- On our inspection cruise, It took us only 20 minutes to get from walking off the ship, to walking into the Ft. Lauderdale airport. It is very simple and fast.
A couple recommendations:- Walk off with your luggage instead of having the ship take your bags off the ship.
- TAKE A TAXI to the airport – it’s very affordable and much faster than taking a bus.
