Snit13 Posted July 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If you post your question on the FLORIDA departure boards you will get some excellent advice and the mods won't move your thread. That being said love to sail from Ft. L and there are tons of things to do based on your interests and time in town. Great restaurants too. Please, go to FLORIDA area as many locals post there.

Payd Posted July 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I know a few have mentioned the water taxi. We spent a day touring on it...and off. Wonderful! An Everglades Airboat tour is also really fun. Las Olas Blvd is worth wandering. They also have unmanned stations with bikes for rent. Just use your credit card to unlock. We also went to a state park just off the A1A that was beautiful. So much to do...so little time. Enjoy! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN55442 Posted July 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2017 We were on the Allure last year out of Fort Lauderdale. We did the Everglades tour and it was fabulous. We also did the Jungle Queen Paddle Wheeler which has day trips and we did a dinner cruise on her which was loads of fun! Just google these and you will find websites.

setsail Posted July 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Las Olas Blvd is great at night with all the lights, shops, and restaurants. Easy walking and riverside hotel is right there https://lasolasboulevard.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjunea Posted July 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood is close. (Hubby's place to kill time before and after a cruise -- we will leave a ship, Uber to there, check our luggage at the Bell desk and he goes and plays poker. I shop, maybe play a little slots. We have an early dinner, then catch an early evening flight back.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted July 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Eat at Ricky's. It's a hole in the wall local sports dive bar. It's the local Cheers. Order the twin lobster tails, $25.00 and don't dress up. Sit as far from the door as possible........If you sit at the bar, beware......you are taking someone's seat. TV's everywhere, very noisey, but good food, wonderful service and everyone know's your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted July 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Spend some time walking around South Beach....there are wonderful museums (if that is your thing). You don't mention whether you will have a car, and that might impact what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
