Generally, on HAL ships they will not send you off without breakfast in
the Lido Buffet. My last cruise out of FLL on a HAL ship, we had a
rather late disembarkation time. After breakfast, we passed the time up
in the Crow's Nest Lounge.
Like many ships, HAL offers express disembarkation. You wheel your own
luggage of the ship. It is offered to people who must catch early
flights back home. I forget if it is during check in or on the last
night of your cruise. At some point you fill out a slip indicating your
airline, flight number and time of your flight. Disembarkation times
are partially assigned via color code, based on this information. After
the last group leaves the ship, you must as well. They have to perform
sanitation procedures and prepare for the next cruisers boarding the ship.
In Ft. Lauderdale, Casablanca Cafe is one place you might enjoy for
lunch or dinner. Las Olas Blvd is lined with interesting boutiques and
restaurants, some featuring musical entertainment.
