Port Everglades is located in the great Fort Lauderdale area. If a cruise's departure port is listed as Fort Lauderdale, it will be leaving from Port Everglades.
One-day cruises from Port Everglades to the Bahamas are readily available. Most last approximately 14 hours, with four hours spent on Grand Bahama island. Breakfast and dinner are usually served on the ship.
There are also several lines that offer two-day cruises. Passengers travel on one ship to Grand Bahama, spend the night there and take a different ship back.
Many cruise lines offer longer trips. Seven- to 10-night trips are common, and some last as long as 24 days. Destinations include the Bahamas and more.
No matter which cruise you choose, make sure to bring a bathing suit, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses.
