Highlights of your cruise include:

Ft Lauderdale
Ft. Lauderdale sits in the middle of the burgeoning megalopolis known as South Florida, which hugs the Atlantic coast from Miami in the south (a 35-minute car ride away) to Palm Beach in the north. It is the principal city in huge Broward County, two-thirds of which is swampland in the Everglades. What isn't swampy includes 23 miles of beaches and 28 municipalities.

San Juan
Puerto Rico's first inhabitants were the Taino Indians, who encountered Columbus in 1493. The Spanish quickly settled on the island, defending their territory against the Dutch and British. This is evident by the imposing fortresses of Old San Juan, namely the grandiose El Morro Castle, erected 140 feet above the sea and dominating the old section of this capital city. In 1897, Spain declared Puerto Rico an autonomous state, but after the Spanish-American War, Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the U.S. and residents were granted American citizenship in 1917.

Antigua
When Christopher Columbus discovered Antigua in 1493, he encountered the unfriendly Carib Indians. Columbus chose to name the island Santa Maria de Antigua, in honor of a church in Spain. For many years, both the Spanish and French were unable to settle on the island due to the fierce nature of the Caribs. But in 1632, the British managed to take control of this island and neighboring Barbuda, developing the sugarcane industry with the use of slaves imported from Africa. During the 1780s, Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson commanded a British Navy Base at Antigua's Falmouth Harbor, which is today the best-preserved harbor in all the Caribbean. In 1981 Antigua and Barbuda were granted independence, and Vere Cornwell Bird was elected the first prime minister, leading this member of the commonwealth until 1993 when his son took office.
