Getting off cruise boat on a Monday morning. Flight home does not depart until 7 pm.

What would be sone good things to do for the day?

Anyone know of a luggage storage service for the day?

Trying to avoid having to rent a car if possible.

Cruise line has not yet announced any shuttles or post cruise tours.

I’ve done this a couple of times.

There should be luggage storage at the airport. Just ask any agent/airport employee where it is in your terminal. There is a fee, but it’s worth it.

I typically have an Uber drop me off at Las Olas near Federal Hwy. There’s some great shopping and eats along Las Olas. I love grabbing a bite at Gran Forno, an Italian bakery at Las Olas and SE 13th Ave.

The weather is usually nice and we’ve spent a few hours walking up and down shopping and what-not. We head back to the airport so we’re in the terminal 90 mins-2 hours before our flight.

You can also have Uber drop you off at Las Olas & Ft Lauderdale Beach Blvd and wander up to Sunrise Blvd. There’s a mall not too far from the beach on Sunrise. You can wander by all the beach front hotels and resorts. Good shopping and fun eats along the beach as well.

Las Olas is my favorite in Ft Lauderdale for sure..we always stay a night or get there an extra day early (Riverside Hotel) just to explore the area, get dinner, spend some time at the beach.

Even when we sail out of Miami, we fly into Ft Lauderdale because La Olas is much more our preference than anywhere in Miami or South Beach
