Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

park-n-ride half the price - great service five minutes away - if you have a carry permit and carry - you cannot enter the port and they do ask

Thumbs Up 3

Philipsburg, St. Maarten Did not visit port

powerboat snorkeling excursion (25 mile journey) was fun and sightseeing tour along the way - great snorkeling site on the French side - then an outstanding 45 minute beach stop - family friendly without question

Thumbs Up 1

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

bought some really nice cigars from local vender who was hand rolling as you ordered - take a guided tour of the city - visit the cathedrals - beautiful

The solarium is the adult only area, so its a nice area to get away from the crown and kids... You can book the shows online up to 90 days in advanced. Do it as soon as you see it on your planer!

Loved the Quest game. Omg...I had NO IDEA what it was when we walked in. One of the funniest "shows" we saw 😂😂. Do not miss it.

I was on Allure in May, I agree with all of the Above statements!!!! As a Newbie Coopera71 my advice, of two things to absolutely not miss, is the 70's Disco inferno Dance Party on the Promnade Deck, AND........... The Quest Game!!!!!
