Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on 20 sailings with Disney Cruise Line and my last sailing was out of Fort Lauderdale on the Disney Destiny.

I was not expecting that from Fort Lauderdale. I was pleasantly surprised and I think it's incredibly underrated.

You will not regret it. Okay. And finally, when nobody's going to tell you or, you know, maybe people are starting to talk about this, but most people are finding out the hard way, but Fort Lauderdale or Port Everglades specifically can have up to eight ships in it at one time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get to Fort Lauderdale at least the night before your cruise.
✓Stay in the city or by the beach, not necessarily close to the port.
✓Check how many ships are in port the day before to prepare for traffic.
✓Bring snacks and water for the embarkation process.
✓Arrive at the port a little earlier than expected if many ships are in port.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting to the port directly from transportation — You must use driving transportation; you cannot walk, take a train, or fly directly to the port.
Where to stay before the cruise — Stay in the city or by the beach for a fun experience; only stay near the port if arriving late at night.
