You are in The Villages !
The good news is that cruising just got easier. You are now just a short drive from the cruise ports of Tampa, Port Canaveral, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.
Not only does this give you a wide variety of Caribbean cruise itineraries, but also trans-Atlantic and trans-Panama Canal cruises. Some repositioning cruises at the change of seasons are very reasonably priced.
Ft. Lauderdale is the port for sailing to Europe. It is also the destination port for cruises originating in Canada and heading south.
Miami is a good start for heading to the eastern and southern Caribbean. Port Canaveral and Tampa tend to have more sailings to the western Caribbean.
I'm told, although I have never done it, that you can get on lists for cheap fares for last minute boardings on cruises that are underbooked. There are probably people who read this board who have had this experience. The key is to be available to travel on short notice.
In any event.......... welcome to The Villages
