PROGRAM TOPICS

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

  • 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM – So Little Room, So Much to See (The Complete Pediatric Dental Exam)

    Every pediatric dental examination is a new patient examination because of the dynamics of growth and development. There is much to see in the mouths of children other than caries and loose teeth. This program covers aspects of the pediatric dental examination including recognition of anomalies, growth and development, symmetry and balance of the dentition and other components that make examinations on children unique. Clinical and radiographic photographs illustrate the areas of discussion.

  • 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM – The Latest in Pediatric Dentistry

    So, what's new in the world of pediatric dentistry? Indications for and treatment of pulpotomies and non-vital primary teeth have changed, the variety of full coverage crowns has exploded, faster and painless anesthesia is now a real possibility, minimally invasive treatment is more popular, and more emphasis is now being placed on obstructive sleep apnea, its etiology and how to treat it effectively. These topics will bring dentists more fully informed about developments in pediatric dentistry.

  • 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM – The Care and Feeding of a Healthy Brain

    Let's better understand the workings of our brain. Maximizing our brain health creates a life replete with vitality, resilience, and optimal well-being. Learn how your daily food choices are a foundation for better brain and overall health. Discover ways to increase your neuroplasticity by incorporating realistic strategies. You will deal more easily and effectively with your patients, as well as your family and friends, when your brain is working efficiently.

  • 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM – Behavior Management of Patients, Parents and Yourself

    Pediatric dentistry requires dentists to successfully communicate with and manage the behavior of both children and parents. They must also manage their own behavior as well. Techniques are discussed and shown in videos of patients in treatment. Dental training focuses on technical aspects, but for children excellent care is only possible with proper handling of patients. Parents are often the entertainment and not the “problem” that most believe.


Saturday, October 10, 2026

  • 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM – The Power of a Healthy Biome

    Scientific evidence continues to mount for the importance of feeding and caring for your biome. It is intimately connected with your brain health, immune system, and much more. Learn ways to tweak your daily eating for significant health strides. A busy life does not preclude a happy, healthy biome.

  • 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM – Dealing with Parent Demands

    Patients come into our practices and question treatment recommendations because of their “knowledge” gleaned from the internet. We will explore how to deal with this, including issues such as x-rays, esthetic crowns and fluoride. These tools will help dentists to communicate effectively when faced with demands from patients.

Ports of Call

Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida

While many travelers treat Port Canaveral merely as a functional transit point, anchoring your cruise with a two- or three-day stay in Central Florida transforms a simple Caribbean loop into a diverse journey. Extending your trip allows you to combine the engineering marvels of the Space Coast with the surprisingly sophisticated cultural and culinary landscape of Orlando and Winter Park. Arriving early also provides a vital buffer against flight delays, ensuring you board your ship relaxed and ready to vacation.

Practical Arrival and Logistics - The drive between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Port Canaveral takes approximately 45 to 50 minutes via SR-528 (The Beachline Expressway). We strongly recommend a rental car if you plan to explore Winter Park or the Kennedy Space Center, as it offers the freedom to move between districts without relying on surging ride-share prices. Traffic in the greater Orlando area, particularly on I-4, is notoriously heavy; always pad your travel times by 30 minutes. For accommodations, consider splitting your stay: book your first night in the upscale enclave of Winter Park or the modern Lake Nona area, and your final pre-cruise night closer to the port in Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral.

Day 1 — Winter Park and Culinary Exploration - Skip the neon lights of International Drive and head 50 minutes west of the port to Winter Park. This historic, affluent enclave offers a European-style pacing that provides a stark contrast to the region's theme parks. Center your afternoon on Park Avenue, a cobblestone thoroughfare lined with independent boutiques and canopy oaks. Visit the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, which houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, including his stunning chapel interior from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Afterward, take the Scenic Boat Tour for an hour-long cruise through the Winter Park Chain of Lakes, navigating narrow, hand-dug canals past historic estates.

Winter Park is also the epicenter of Central Florida's Michelin-recognized culinary scene. Dine at Prato for modern Italian cuisine, or The Ravenous Pig, a gastropub that pioneered the local farm-to-table movement. The Alfond Inn makes an excellent base for the night, featuring a contemporary art collection from Rollins College that rivals many dedicated galleries.

Day 2 — Kennedy Space Center and Coastal Decompression - Drive east to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. This is an active launch facility and a living museum of aerospace history, not a typical theme park. Arrive at opening (9:00 AM) and allocate a full, unhurried day. Begin with the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit; the theatrical reveal of the orbiter is genuinely moving. Walk beneath the massive Saturn V rocket in the Apollo/Saturn V Center to grasp the sheer scale of the F-1 engines. We also recommend Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex, focusing on commercial spaceflight. If your schedule aligns, viewing a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from the Banana Creek viewing area is an unforgettable auditory and visual experience.

In the late afternoon, drive to Cocoa Beach. While the town can be touristy, the historic Cocoa Beach Pier and the iconic Ron Jon Surf Shop are landmarks worth a quick visit to experience authentic Florida surf culture.

Alternative Day 2 — Navigating the Theme Parks - If you prefer to visit the major theme parks, take a targeted approach focused on design and immersion rather than ride counts. Epcot is generally the most adult-friendly park, particularly during its rotating festivals (Food & Wine, Flower & Garden). The World Showcase offers a pleasant culinary tour, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a marvel of ride engineering. For environmental storytelling, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure are masterclasses in immersive design that can be appreciated on a purely artistic level, regardless of your fandom.

Embarkation Day — Nature and Waterfront Dining - Before heading to your cruise terminal, spend a quiet morning at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. This 140,000-acre sanctuary shares a border with the space center and offers a serene counterpoint to the bustling port. A drive along Black Point Wildlife Drive often yields sightings of alligators, roseate spoonbills, and manatees.

For a pre-boarding lunch, avoid the chains and head to the Port Canaveral waterfront, known locally as The Cove. Restaurants like Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar or Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill offer fresh, locally caught seafood in a casual, open-air setting where you can watch fishing fleets and cruise vessels navigate the channel. Most major rental car agencies have drop-off locations near the port with complimentary shuttles directly to your ship's terminal, making the final leg of your journey seamless.

Coco Cay, Bahamas

A family relaxes in a private beach cabana at CocoCay. The view from the shaded, lushly landscaped wooden structure looks out over white sands and the turquoise Caribbean Sea under a bright sun.
Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private Bahamian island, engineered entirely for high-quality leisure. The destination is smartly zoned by energy level, allowing you to dial in exactly the type of beach day you want.

For adrenaline seekers, the upcharge Thrill Waterpark houses North America's tallest waterslide, Daredevil's Peak, alongside massive wave pools. If you want a lively, complimentary resort-pool atmosphere, head to Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean's largest freshwater pool, complete with a swim-up bar and DJ.
Aerial view of the exclusive Coco Beach Club at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Overwater cabanas, a sparkling infinity pool, and a private beach offer a high-luxury Mediterranean-style retreat for cruise passengers in the Bahamas.


If you prefer a traditional beach day without additional fees, Chill Island and South Beach provide ample loungers, umbrellas, and calm, clear waters. Complimentary dining is available throughout the island at venues like Skipper's Grill and the Chill Grill.

For a more sophisticated experience away from the crowds, two premium upcharge areas stand out. The Coco Beach Club offers an oceanfront infinity pool, elevated dining, and the Bahamas' first overwater cabanas. Alternatively, Hideaway Beach is an adults-only (18+) zone featuring a private cove, heated pool, and dedicated dining venues like Slice of Paradise.

The island features a deep-water pier, meaning no tender boats are required—you can walk right off the ship. Shipboard Wi-Fi and beverage packages seamlessly extend to the island, making logistics effortless.

Palm trees and colorful beach umbrellas frame this high-energy activity at Royal Caribbean's private island destination.

Schools of tropical fish swim alongside them in this immersive, reef-focused shore excursion perfect for all ages.

At Sea - Cruising

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.

Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. Start at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.

Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.

Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

A long stretch of white sand at Great Bay Beach in Philipsburg. Turquoise waters and beachfront hotels sit beneath rolling green hills, just a short walk from the St. Maarten cruise pier.
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (the Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.

Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.
Aerial view of Little Bay Beach in St. Maarten, featuring upscale seaside resorts and white sands. The calm, azure water and verdant mountains create a picturesque tropical shore excursion.


To experience the island's true charm, cross the border to the French side (St. Martin). The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in the capital of Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.

Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices:
  • Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead at Princess Juliana International Airport—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique.
  • For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.
A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to the Philipsburg cruise terminal.
Wide aerial view of Philipsburg, St. Maarten, showing the colorful town nestled between the deep blue Atlantic and a bright turquoise bay, surrounded by lush green hills and the cruise port. Aerial top-down view of a red kayak gliding through crystal-clear turquoise water in St. Maarten. The vibrant, translucent sea reveals rocky reefs below, perfect for a tranquil eco-adventure. A golden sunset over a peaceful bay in St. Maarten, filled with sailboats and catamarans. Lush tropical gardens and a seaside resort frame the shimmering Caribbean waters at dusk.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
  • Pre-trip information
  • Prescription replacements
