Ports of Call 
 

The ship departs from Fort Lauderdale, FL. October is a fantastic time to visit South Florida. Stroll the streets, shops and restaurants of Las Olas and Riverwalk. You have your choice of beaches, world-renowned shopping, fantastic parks, museums and nightlife and so much more. You will be close to the Everglades, the Hard Rock Casino and the Jungle Queen Riverboat attraction. Whatever you are into, South Florida has it! Talk about fun in the sun! This is it. 

The first port of call is St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. This is where the party starts! You can take a tour of the Captain Morgan Rum distillery. You might decide to take a guided 10-mile bike ride along St. Croix's breathtaking coastline. Of course, there is scuba diving and snorkeling available or you may want to tour the botanical garden or explore the island's history on a cultural tour. If you are hungry, try the Caribbean lobster. 

The next stop is Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Enjoy secluded beaches, snorkeling, sail on a catamaran, or take a ferry over to Jost Van Dyke and enjoy the soft sand and clear calm waters as you swim and snorkel in a protected cover. This is the Caribbean at its finest!

The final port is CocoCay, Bahamas! It is always a Perfect Day at CocoCay! We will dock at Royal Caribbean's private water park where there is so much to experience. Check out the water thrill rides including a water slide where the bottom drops out! There is a great wave pool, a swim-up bar, access to beaches and pools and a swimming lagoon. If you are looking for a more upscale experience, you can rent a private cabana. Or maybe you will want to check out the zipline or take a ride on a hot air balloon. No better view than this! This will truly be a perfect day!

When not at the port, you will keep busy by enhancing your professional skills with your choice of highly-rated massage continuing education classes.  Don't worry, there will still be plenty of free time for you to relax and enjoy the cruise and go on some fun adventures. 

Course Offerings

In between ports of call, you can spend some of your free time meeting other amazing massage therapists (and getting a little bodywork yourself) while you earn the massage continuing credit hours that you need for license renewal. You will learn some great skills that you can immediately incorporate into your practice when you get home. Your clients will be glad you went on this great education vacation because they will benefit from all of the new skills you pick up. The best part is that ALL CLASSES ARE INCLUDED as part of our cruise package. 

While on this cruise, you can take some of our most sought-after massage therapy continuing education programs including:
 

• You can take the entire Lymphatic Drainage Program while onboard. This is one of our most popular series and includes both the Lymphatic Drainage Fundamentals, which is a prerequisite to taking the Advanced Lymphatic Drainage course. 
   
• This is the first time we have offered the entire Myofascial Release Series on a cruise ship. Your clients want you to take this!

The Adventure of the Seas has a Flow Rider surf simulator and the Perfect Storm water slide. Take some time to relax with a spa treatment, a dip in the pool or hot tub, or sip on a coffee or a cocktail while overlooking the ocean and contemplating life. You will not be bored.  Bring along the family. They will love the arcade and adventure center. There are several programs for kids and teens that will keep them busy while you are in class. 

You will be living the good life by going to dinner, dancing, and watching Broadway-style shows and performers. We hope that lady luck will be on your side if you are checking out the casino. Are you a foodie? OMG, there is more amazing food than a person could eat. Prepare to be amazed and delighted! Being on board this ship is like vacationing at a luxury resort.
