The city's reputation as America's Spring Break capital, however, has been replaced with the more favorable image of a prime family tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. The most popular beach resort in Florida is even more rightly famed as the "Yachting Capital of the World," with more than 40,000 registered crafts calling its waters home. The city also prides itself on being th... ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 4: Aruba **Arrives:** 10:00 AM · **Departs:** 10:00 PM Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast: the island's arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast. Aruba's long and colorful heritage is reflected in its dialect. Called Papiamento, it is a tongue that combines elements of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, African and English. ### Day 5: Curacao **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM Historians still contend over which European adventurer first spied the largest island in the former Netherlands Antilles. Some historians claim the honor for Alonzo de Ojeda; other historians champion Amerigo Vespucci. Little does it matter; today's travelers are content to bask beneath sunny skies cooled by the trade winds. Lying some 40 miles off Venezuela, Curaçao boasts a landscape that is dramatic, stark, and volcanic. In contrast, Willemstad, the capital, seems a cozy Dutch haven with it... ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: St. Lucia **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Nestled below the Pitons, twin peaks rising over 2,600 feet above the azure waters of the Caribbean, St. Lucia is an oasis of tropical calm. The island's capital, Castries, is a town of charming, pastel-colored colonial buildings, home to some 60,000. Yet despite its peaceful setting, St. Lucia has a turbulent and colorful history. Fierce Carib warriors overran the peaceful Arawaks in the 9th century. The first European settler, Francois Le Clerc, was a French buccaneer. Le Clerc's countrymen fo... ### Day 8: Barbados **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Barbados is one of the few Caribbean islands solely colonized by one nation. It's no wonder Bajans describe their country as being "more English than England sheself," surnames like Worthing and Hastings abound. But look around and you know you're not in England: rich and fertile tropical fields meet a glistening, azure sea. The soft pastels of old chattel houses blend with the vibrant reds, oranges, and greens of roadside fruit stands. In short, Barbados exudes a charm all its own. Perhaps it i... ### Day 9: Dominica **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM Lying between Guadeloupe and Martinique is the island of Dominica--an unspoiled Caribbean paradise. The vibrant, rich rainforest is home to rare birds, including Sisserou and Jacquot parrots. Streams tumble down mountain slopes and thread fertile valleys on their short route to the sea. Dominica is also home to the last Carib Indians. When Columbus made landfall on his second voyage of discovery, this fierce tribe managed to keep the explorer at bay. And while the island proved a lure for both B... ### Day 10: St Maarten **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 05:00 PM St. Maarten offers a delightful case of split personality. Legend has it that a Frenchman and a Dutchman divided ownership of the island through a walk-off: Standing back to back, the two headed in opposite directions, walking around the island until they met. Perhaps the Dutchman paused for a refreshing brew. At any rate, the French ended up claiming 21 square miles of the island to 16 square miles for the Dutch. This lively tale says much about St. Maarten's easygoing ways. No formal boundary ... ### Day 11: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 12: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 13: Fort Lauderdale **Arrives:** 07:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM According to the popular 1960 beach movie, Fort Lauderdale is "where the boys are."
