RJ22 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hey all, We are on the Nov 19-8 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean. I was wondering what is there to do early in the morning since I am coming in on a redeye at 5:45AM and have my schedule boarding time at 11:30AM. Anyone have suggestions on what to do for a couple of hours before boarding time? Thank you in advance for all or any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no suggestions as to what to do, but want to follow along. we have a cruise out of Everglades in 2023 and are staying near Las Olas blvd, if that helps. I hope your early early morning flight works out. I’m way too nervous to fly in on embarkation day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordell1 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I would suggest a walk on the beach but I'm not sure what you would do with your luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take an Uber from FLL to Top Hat Deli (highly recommended, I am a local) and enjoy a good breakfast. Uber from Top Hat to the cruise port. Problem solved.

Also, we are on Odyssey as well for the Thanksgiving sailing & looking forward to it! The best itinerary IMHO. RJ22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmattinson Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Top Hat doesn't open until 8A BTW The diners may be open 24 hours. In the airport, the only thing open is Starbucks, Einstein bagels, Harvest and Grounds and the like (https://www.broward.org/airport/Passengers/Pages/terminals.aspx) - I'd camp out in Starbucks with a coffee or three and watch the world go by for a bit - depending on hunger around 7:30, hit one of the spots mentioned but note that even if you go to one of these places, you still need to stash your luggage somewhere.

Top Hat will stash your luggage w/ no issues. Every weekend we see the cruisers come in for breakfast and the luggage is piled next to the front door. As for Starbucks, get out of the airport and go to the new Starbucks on 17th street right down the street from the port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are traveling from an area that doesn't have a Publix, after your breakfast. Find the nearest one and order a Publix Sub. Take it aboard. My favorite is an Ultimate with Boar's Head on a multi-grain roll. You won't be disappointed. Kinda kidding, but kinda not. My middle-grown kid and his wife moved to Texas. We were sailing out of Miami for a family cruise. Picked them up at MIA the morning of the trip. Dad! What? Can you stop by Publix? Why? I need a Pub Sub really bad. Texas got nothing like it.

AlohaLivin Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 We really enjoy the Las Olas Boulevard area for shopping and dining (and there are a number of places that are relatively reasonable to stay overnight nearby also). It is lively and wonderful in the evenings! @FSUFAN I have 4 Publix stores within about 3 miles of me, I will be glad to send one to you I will trade you for a Trader Joe’s! tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a wee problem with that plan - the weather (e.g., I would melt). But we do visit often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
