Creator's Key Takeaways

Oh, good morning cruise fans. Here we are now. It's Ray and Sue Travel Channel and we're on the beautiful Serenade of the Seas on our 16- night cruise between Fort Lauderdale and Los Angeles, California.

So, you don't see this every time you get off the cruise ship, do you, Sue? You don't see this every time. Is it lovely?

We're really glad that we walked through here rather than jumping straight on the off bus, which we will probably do later on.

So, just bear that in mind.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider walking through the bird sanctuary before taking a hop-on hop-off bus tour.
Be aware that duty-free shop prices are expensive and not cost-effective.
Negotiate tour prices with local sellers; they often reduce costs quickly.
