Fort Lauderdale · Curaçao · Aruba · Dominican Republic · CocoCay
Fly out Wednesday, arrive Thursday. Three nights to shake off the jet lag, explore the Las Olas strip, and get suitably excited. October weather: 29°C, low humidity — perfect.
Board the Allure of the Seas at Port Everglades. Explore 16 decks, find your cabin, grab the first poolside drink, and set sail at 5pm. Let the holiday properly begin.
Two glorious days to explore the ship. Rock climbing wall, FlowRider surf simulator, spa, casino, broadway shows, and of course — the pool bar. Ideal drinks tracker territory.
Colourful Dutch colonial architecture, the iconic Queen Emma floating bridge, and the island's famous Blue Curaçao liqueur distillery. Don't miss the snorkelling reefs.
Powder-white Palm Beach, colourful gingerbread houses, and desert-like landscapes with Divi-divi trees. Take the free trolley downtown or hire a UTV for the backcountry.
A secluded hideaway rarely visited — pristine Playa Pedernales, coral reefs, and the vast Jaragua National Park with ancient cave art. Pure, unspoilt Caribbean.
The calm before the CocoCay storm. Last chance to lounge, visit the spa, or grab a few more drinks before the big finale. The FlowRider awaits the brave.
The grand finale. Tallest waterslide in the Caribbean, helium balloon at 450ft, largest freshwater pool in the Bahamas, swim-up bars, and overwater cabanas. Nothing subtle about it.
Disembark at Port Everglades, drop the bags, and head straight into the wild. An airboat tour through Everglades National Park on the way to the airport — alligators, sawgrass and a perfect final Florida memory before the flight home.
