Cruise Overview

Like many southeast Florida neighbors, Fort Lauderdale has long been revitalizing.

In a state where gaudy tourist zones often stand aloof from workaday downtowns, Fort Lauderdale exhibits consistency at both ends of the 2-mile Las Olas corridor.

The sparkling look results from upgrades both downtown and on the beachfront.

Matching the downtown's innovative arts district, cafés, and boutiques is an equally inventive beach area, with hotels, cafés, and shops facing an undeveloped shoreline, and new resort-style hotels replacing faded icons of yesteryear.

Despite wariness of pretentious overdevelopment, city leaders have allowed a striking number of glittering high-rises.

Nostalgic locals and frequent visitors fret over the diminishing vision of sailboats bobbing in waters near downtown; however, Fort Lauderdale remains the yachting capital of the world, and the water toys don’t seem to be going anywhere.

Aruba's capital is easily explored on foot.

Its palm-lined central thoroughfare runs between old and new pastel-painted buildings of typical Dutch design (Spanish influence is also evident in some of the architecture).

There are a lot of malls with boutiques and shops—the Renaissance mall carries high-end luxury items and designer fashions.

A massive renovation in downtown has given Main Street (a.k.a.

Caya G.

F.

Betico Croes) behind the Renaissance Resort a whole new lease on life: boutique malls, shops, and restaurants have opened next to well-loved family-run businesses.

The pedestrian-only walkway and resting areas have unclogged the street, and the new eco-trolley is free and a great way to get around.

At this writing, Linear Park was well and will showcase local merchants and artists.

There will be activities along a boardwalk that will eventually run all the way to the end of Palm Beach, making it the longest of its kind in the Caribbean.
