Must see attractions in Fort Lauderdale?????????
Hi all
I am posting again to see if anyone has any recommendations for things to do pre or post cruise in Fort Lauderdale. I was hoping that someone out there would able to answer my many questions. We will be arriving at about 5:45 on the Saturday before our Star Princess that is scheduled to leave the next day. Not sure what time we will start boarding the boat Sunday. Also not sure if we will be renting a car before our cruise or not. We are staying at Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise Port. Was hoping to find something close to the hotel or the cruise port. Also wondering if there was someplace we could store our luggage at Port Everglades. Just wondering if Princess will hold on to it until we are ready to board the boat. How is the public transportation system in Fort Lauderdale? Would we be better off taking a cab to get to the sights or to a restaurant? When returning we will be staying at the same hotel. This time around we are going to rent a car, as our flight the next day does not leave until 5:30pm or so. Any great must see attractions in Fort Lauderdale to see after our cruise or before our flight home? As we will have a car I might consider a day trip outside of Fort Lauderdale. Thank again in advance for your great help. Michael |

You might try doing the mini cruise on the Jungle Queen. It is a nice
ride up the river with a nice buffet on an island, all you can eat, shrimp, chicken and ribs. Many flee markest if you like them. Los Olis Blvd is a nice walk and the water taxi is anic to get around.

Take one of the 2-3 hour cruises down the New River. You see lots of
gorgeous mansions, including several houses that they showed on Miami Vice. Try taking a drive up A1A along the Intra-coastal Waterway toward Palm Beach. It's especially nice at night when the XMAS holiday lights are lit up. Walk along Las Olas Blvd. and check out the shops For the "guys", get some Buffalo Wings at Hooters. Have dinner at Mai Kai (Polynesian Rest, where they do a fire dancing show at night). About 1 block north of Oakland Park Blvd right on Rt. 1. I don't know of any public transportation in Ft. Lauderdale. The guy who started Alamo Rental Cars lives in a mansion on New River, and you can rent cars so cheaply there that there's not much point having a lot of public transportation. --Tom "Michael Graham" wrote in message m...

Ester and Sammy's condo would be a good starting point. You should see what
they did to the place. Happy Cruisin' Mark Home Port: Monmouth County,NJ. |
