On our Royal Caribbean Cruise on the Oasis of the Seas we encountered some rough weather. So, instead of having a Perfect Day at Coco Cay, we were diverted to Fort Lauderdale and in this video, I am sharing what we did to make the most of our day.

The Flamingo Gardens was waaaaay better than I thought it was going to be. Awesome place!

@TheAverageTourist 6 месяцев назад

It was pretty fun! Even for adults 🤣

Flamingo Gardens offers a captivating experience with a diverse array of birds, though it's advisable to stay vigilant about potential bird droppings. The Flamingo Pond, adorned with its mesmerizing pink residents, stands out as a central attraction. A leisurely stroll through the vibrant Las Olas Blvd, featuring an array of charming stores and enticing restaurants, adds to the overall charm. Kudos for delivering another informative video, deserving two thumbs up!

Wow, it's amazing to see you explore my hometown! 🏡 Flamingo Gardens brought back so many memories, and Fort Lauderdale Beach looks as stunning as ever. 🌊 It's a bummer that the Riverboat Cruise didn't work out, but I'm glad you got to experience the vibrant vibe of Las Olas Blvd. Your video really captures the essence of these spots! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see more of your adventures. 👍

You never know when you are going to have weather related travel issues. I recently went on a river cruise in France where it rained so much, the boat could no longer pass. So we missed out on two more stops. But fortunately with a river cruise and it’s smaller, they had a whole new plan for us with in 24 hours. Glad you made the most of it and luckily they kept you all safe!

Don't get pooped on. What a way to spend a day instead of their private island. You made the best of it. Hope you enjoyed your cruise.

@Travelsheesh 6 месяцев назад

24 usd for this is crazy, even here in expensive switzerland the entry for the zurich zoo is just a few bucks more, and it definitely has so much more to offer!

@Explorcation 5 месяцев назад

The price is a little steep at the gardens..but at least there were those cute lil river otters 🦦😁 Ugh what a bummer it was so windy at the beach! The weather has been so crazy this year in Florida, more wind, rain and cloudy days compared to what we are used to.

@TheAverageTourist 5 месяцев назад

Yeah we thought it was kinda pricey, but I guess ot does support the wildlife that need a sanctuary/home for rehabilitation. I've seen some of the recent weather there and it's been wild!

@AndysWorldJourneys 6 месяцев назад

ok so... 4.25 just as you say you are worried about getting pooped on just behind you there is some bird poop falling from the sky. Well, probably not the sky. LOL sorry to focus on that it was just somehow poetic! loved the tortoise and of course, the flamingos!

@paradise-adventures 5 месяцев назад

Fort Lauderdale beach looks amazing, but so windy. So nice. It's a shame about the boat cruise.

@KayandGogo 6 месяцев назад

Shame they changed your port but you made the most of it. Laughing I would be the same don't poop on me birds haha flamingos are beautiful. The beach looked beautiful.

@KJFTravelAdventures 5 месяцев назад

I'd be super bummed to miss Coco Cay, but you can't control the weather. Looks like you made the most of your day in Fort Lauderdale at least.

@TheAverageTourist 5 месяцев назад

We definitely tried to make the most of it!

@jimloth6091 6 месяцев назад

I'm enjoying all the episodes, and really looking forward to your "final thoughts" on this whole experience. We haven't cruised in a while, but from everything I see, it's changed a lot in the past 5 or so years. I would also like to know how you compare mega-ship to small ship cruising. Our last cruise was on the Oasis and we didn't enjoy it as much as the smaller ships.

@TheAverageTourist 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!! I'll definitely be sharing my final thoughts in an upcoming video. We like medium-sized ships... easier to get around 👌

@bad_ventures 6 месяцев назад

Oh no! I’ve been on 2 cruises where they have changed the ports, it’s quite annoying (though always understandable) looks like you were able to find a good alternate though :)

@wrxs1781 6 месяцев назад

Good video, and we had a house just north of Lauderdale and not much to do for a port town that is cruise ship central. Miami is just down the road and great shopping.

@AdventuresOfATravelingDon 6 месяцев назад

Fort Lauderdale instead of Coco Cay.... 😂 That's sad. I do appreciate that you guys made the most of it. The botanical gardens are fantastic. 😂 This reminds me of my sister at SeaWorld in San Antonio years ago where she was eating her ice cream and a bird flew into the tree above her and toom the biggest crap I've ever seen a bird take on her 😂😂😂. Ah those gators are just swamp puppies. Sucks about the weather.

@TheAverageTourist 6 месяцев назад

Haha yeah it wasn't what we were expecting, but that can happen when you cruise. That sucks about your sister's experience at Sea World 🤣🤦‍♀️

@AdventuresOfATravelingDon 5 месяцев назад

You guys sound like me the last 3 weeks as my time in the Balkans became tighter and I was literally filming one day, then spending a couple hours that night to figure out what the hell to film the next day lol.

@TheAverageTourist 5 месяцев назад

Yeah it takes a lot of planning. You must have been feeling the pressure with your long trip.
