Back-to-Back Cruises from Fort Lauderdale

Port Everglades carries the widest variety of back-to-back combinations of any Royal Caribbean home port, because it hosts the most different ships.

Every row below is a real pair of Royal Caribbean sailings where the second leg departs Fort Lauderdale on the day the first one returns. Fares are the lowest cached interior all-in price per guest for both legs combined, before any casino offer is applied. Ships currently chaining here: Adventure of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas, Legend of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas.

Why Fort Lauderdale works for a back-to-back

• More Royal Caribbean ships sail out of Fort Lauderdale than out of any other port on this list, which means chains here are not limited to one vessel alternating two itineraries. You get real choice about which ship you spend a fortnight on.
• The Eastern and Western Caribbean pairing is the classic. Two 7-night sailings on the same ship, one heading toward St. Thomas and San Juan, the other toward Cozumel and Grand Cayman, is fourteen nights with almost no repeated ports.
• Longer and stranger legs show up here too. Fort Lauderdale is a transatlantic terminus in spring and autumn, so repositioning sailings occasionally chain onto a Caribbean week for a genuinely unusual trip.

Turnaround day at Fort Lauderdale

Port Everglades is a big, busy terminal complex and turnaround runs on a schedule. Consecutive cruisers gather in a designated lounge, go ashore as a group to clear US Customs and Border Protection, and reboard promptly. Expect it to be efficient rather than leisurely.

Getting there

The airport is close enough that a taxi costs less than the cruise line transfer, which is unusual. If you are chaining sailings, note that Fort Lauderdale is an easy Uber from Miami too, so a chain that ends in one city and starts in the other is workable.

Nearest airport: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), about 10 minutes away.
