New Video from Ft. Lauderdale Promoting Pre- & Post-Cruise Stays

Ft. Lauderdale's Convention & Visitor's bureau is starting a new push for cruise passengers' pre- and post-cruise stays.

Along the way, it, of course, answers the question, "What's there to do in Ft. Lauderdale?"



There’s more information about pre- and post-cruise stays on the CVB’s website at http://www.sunny.org/welovecruisers/.
