Day 0, Pre-Cruise Offering In Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Join us in Fort Lauderdale the night before your sailing for our optional Day 0, Pre-Cruise Offering—your chance to get a head start on everything that makes this experience so special. From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of, including your pre-cruise hotel stay, pre-cruise airport transportation, and seamless transfers to The Fort and your cruise ship.
But what truly sets Day 0 apart is how it transforms your entire week.
Instead of showing up on embarkation day not knowing anyone, you’ll already be part of the group—meeting fellow Guests, sharing your first paddle taps, and stepping onto the courts at The Fort, the official home of the APP Tour and the global epicenter of Pickleball.
You’re not just arriving early—you’re arriving ready. More Pickleball, stronger connections, and a completely stress-free start, all in one seamless experience.
