YouTube Video Description

2 Nights in Fort Lauderdale - a Pre-Cruise Break! When flying in for a cruise, I urge you to do so at least a day before and enjoy the area you're cruising from, or nearby. That's exactly what I did before boarding Disney Magic for a 3 night cruise from Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale, Florida), to Lookout Cay, Lighthouse Point, one of Disney's two private ports in the Bahamas. So, I stayed at the fabulously boutique Villa Venezia on Isle of Venice Drive, Fort Lauderdale for 2 nights ahead of my cruise and in this episode, you and I will find out the best ways of getting from Miami / Miami International to Fort Lauderdale if you aren't driving, a full tour and experience of Villa Venezia, what to do in the local area including best restaurants and bars, a little shopping, how to get to the cruise terminals from Fort Lauderdale and a lot more!
