Fort Lauderdale with My Baby Girl

My Baby Girl on the Emerald Princess
Fort Lauderdale has become a place for Liz and I to hop on a cruise ship bound for the Caribbean. Port Everglades serves so many cruise ships: Carnival, Princess, Norweigan, Royal Caribbean, Holland America and more. Hopping on a cruise in Fort Lauderdale is easy and the surrounding areas are fun to explore.

Flying down to Fort Lauderdale

According to the locals they call Fort Lauderdale "The Venice of America" due to its expansive and intricate canal system. To me it's as if you are comparing apples and oranges but hey its their right to be proud of their city.

Fort Lauderdale has so many options for visitors: beaches, boating, shopping, cruising, dining and countless water sports.

When we want to escape th cold New York weatehr Fort LAuderdale is always a good option whether it's for a weekend or longer.s*

A Great Stay in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale has many hotels to accomodate any type of travel from budget to luxury. Many hotels are close to the water or the beach which makes it a nice fun in the sun trip.

 This cruise looks great --- I've never been a cruise myself! (Just the Nile cruise which is a small boat). But I always visited my aunt in Ft Lauderdale...Hopefully, a cruise someday...Norman :)
