What to do in the rain?

[KangCruiser]

Right now, the forecast for our return trip shows Florida rain the whole day. Ship arrives back to Miami 8am, but our flight out of Fort Lauderdale isn't until 8pm. I was planning on booking a resort pass, but this isn't going to work if its raining. Suggestions for something to do for a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers and luggage) to kill some time? I have booked an airport lounge pass, but really dont want to spend all day there. Thanks in advance!

Can you get on an earlier flight? 

Check MIA  also

go to a museum or  shopping mall

 

we arrived back in POM in a torrential downpour last month   it was not fun just getting to the taxi

I wish 😞 We are flying back to a smaller airport and on the only nonstop of the day. Anything earlier (with connection) would get us home later and be $$$.

Go to Sawgrass Mills have lunch, check out the mall. Cheesecake Factory at Sawgrass Mills is awesome always a nice afternoon.

What day is your return?  I ask because the weather predictions I see for the next few days and anything further out is always suspect.  Plus rain all day is rare.  So while it is always good to have a Plan B (with teenagers @TTEllis suggestion of Sawgrass Mills is a good recommendation), I hope the prediction is wrong and you can enjoy a resort day.

Rent a car and go to Sawgrass Mills Mall. Not a fan of the lounge's at FLL.

Thanks! It’s not until next Saturday, so plenty of time for things to change! 🤞

Don't forget if the prediction is 100% for rain that doesn't mean it will rain the entire day.  It could be as little as an hour.  The 'dry' season hasn't started yet so a shower (or even a downpour) isn't unusual.  Right now the prediction for a week from Saturday is sunny with a high of 83.  I hope that doesn't change for you.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!
