Join the Florida Sail & Stay Facebook Group
Love Florida? Love Cruising? You’ve Found Your People.
Florida Sail & Stay is about more than taking a cruise or spending a few extra days in the Sunshine State. It’s about sharing experiences, discovering new places, learning from other travelers and making the most of every adventure.
That’s why we created the Florida Sail & Stay Facebook Group—a friendly online community for people who love Florida, cruising, the Caribbean and travel.
Whether you are planning your very first cruise, have dozens of sailings behind you, are looking for ideas for a few days in Florida before your cruise, or simply love discovering new places in the Sunshine State, we invite you to join the conversation.

What Will We Talk About?
Think of our Facebook Group as a gathering place for cruise lovers and Florida explorers.
Ask questions. Share your experiences. Tell us about a great restaurant you discovered near a cruise port. Show us your favorite Caribbean beach. Share a packing tip that made your vacation easier. Ask other members where they recommend staying before a cruise.
Some of the topics you can expect include:
- Florida cruise ports — Port Canaveral, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Jacksonville and more
- Pre- and post-cruise stays — where to stay and what to do before or after your cruise
- Cruise tips and planning ideas — from embarkation day to excursions and days at sea
- Florida destinations — beaches, natural springs, theme parks, small towns, cities and hidden gems
- Caribbean ports of call — what to see, where to eat and how to spend your day ashore
- Packing tips and travel gear — what works, what doesn’t and what experienced travelers actually pack
- Cruise deals and group opportunities — watch for ideas and opportunities from Florida Sail & Stay
- Florida living — conversations for those curious about becoming a snowbird, retiring to Florida or making the Sunshine State home
And sometimes we may simply ask, “Where would you rather be today?” and spend a few minutes dreaming about turquoise Caribbean water or a Florida sunset.
Ask Questions—and Share What You Know
One of the best parts of a travel community is learning from one another.
Have a question about arriving in Florida before your cruise? Ask the group.
Wondering what to pack for a Caribbean sailing? Ask the group.
Found an incredible little seafood restaurant, beach, excursion or Florida attraction? Tell the group!
Just returned from a cruise and have tips that could help someone else? We want to hear them.
You don’t have to be a travel expert to participate. Sometimes the best advice comes from another traveler who has recently experienced exactly what you are planning.
Get More From Your Florida Cruise Vacation
We believe your Florida cruise vacation can begin long before you walk up the gangway.
Arrive a day early—or better yet, give yourself several days. Explore a Florida beach town, kayak a natural spring, visit a theme park, enjoy fresh seafood on the waterfront or discover a part of Florida you have never seen before.
When the cruise ends, you don’t necessarily have to head straight to the airport either.
Stay a little longer. Explore a little more.
Our Facebook community is a place to exchange those ideas and help each other turn a cruise vacation into a bigger Florida adventure.
Meet Other People Who Love to Cruise
Cruising has a wonderful way of bringing people together. In fact, the story of Florida Sail & Stay begins with friendships formed through cruising.
Our Facebook Group continues that spirit.
You may discover someone sailing on the same ship. You may meet travelers who love the same cruise line or Caribbean island. You might find someone who knows the perfect place to stay near your Florida departure port—or another traveler who has already taken the excursion you are considering.
You might even make a new cruise friend.
Help Us Build the Florida Sail & Stay Community
This is a new community, and we would love for you to be part of it from the beginning.
When you join, don’t just watch from the sidelines. Introduce yourself!
Tell us:
Where do you live? What is your favorite Florida cruise port? What has been your favorite cruise so far? Where are you sailing next? And what part of Florida would you love to explore?
Then jump into the conversations, answer questions when you can, share your photos and experiences, and help us create a welcoming community of travelers helping travelers.
