Why is private outdoor living valuable before a cruise?

Because it gives your group a reset without a resort schedule—pool time without fighting for chairs.

Cruise travelers often arrive from cold climates and want sun immediately. Poinsettia Paradise makes that first afternoon feel like vacation—not a holding pattern.

Two private entrances on select configurations help when luggage and rideshare timing do not line up perfectly.

What should you confirm the night before embarkation?

Confirm ride timing, breakfast plan, and whether you want early pool time versus extra sleep.

Use the cruise guide for a step-by-step day structure and pairing recommendations for Las Olas dinners the night before.
