What travellers with disabilities should know before cruising from Greater Fort Lauderdale
Your cruise is booked, and adventure on the sea awaits, but before you set sail, consider this: the real magic can begin before you leave on your Disney cruise . . . or any of the many other cruises leaving from Port Everglades, one of the three busiest cruise ports in the world. Greater Fort Lauderdale, home to Port Everglades, is not merely a point on your itinerary and the place you sail from. As the gateway to the Caribbean, to get to all of those exotic cruises, this is the place you leave from. It’s an accessible, joy-filled destination perfect for a pre-or post-cruise getaway.
