Eurodam: 14-Night from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) - April 3, 2027

With roughly 6 hours hours in Cartagena, Colombia - arriving at 7:00 AM and departing at 1:00 PM - you'll want to be strategic. A ship-arranged shore excursion is a smart choice here - the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Stick to attractions close to the port. Beyond history, Cartagena offers Caribbean flavors, warm hospitality, and ocean views that balance the urban energy.

The Eurodam is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Panama Canal, Panama are plentiful. Plan your top priorities in advance and you'll generally find services accessible without long waits. The Miraflores Locks Visitor Center offers observation decks and exhibits detailing the canal's operation.

With a late arrival in Panama Canal, Panama at 6:00 PM, your time ashore is more limited - but many morning passengers will already be heading back, so popular spots may be less crowded. Focus on attractions closest to the port. The Miraflores Locks Visitor Center offers observation decks and exhibits detailing the canal's operation.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Puntarenas, Costa Rica, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Cruise ships dock at Puntarenas port, conveniently close to the city center.

The Eurodam is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala are plentiful. Plan your top priorities in advance and you'll generally find services accessible without long waits. Stroll through Puerto Quetzal's markets to discover colorful produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Guatemalan goods.

Arriving in Huatulco, Mexico at 12:00 PM with only 6 hours hours before your 6:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. A boat tour through Huatulco's bays is one of the best ways to appreciate the coastline.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Visitors can enjoy the beaches and seaside promenades, explore art galleries and local markets, and sample regional cuisine.

Your cruise ends in San Diego, California, where the Eurodam is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Many highlights are walkable from the port, including the waterfront, parks, and dining areas.
