Voted Canadian National and International ETA Grand Champion, Daylin James performs a truly exciting tribute to Elvis. With all the looks and moves of Elvis, Daylin also has the unique ability to change his vocal tones to authentically match each era of the king's career.
Daylin possesses a style so close to the king as well as a sense of humor much like Elvis's own that he was told by James Burton, "Elvis would be proud of your representation of him." From Ontario, Canada, Daylin has toured with such award-winning shows as Las Vegas's "Legends in Concert," "Stars in Concert" and "Superstars Live."

FORT
LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA (FL)
|
|
Fort
Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of
the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical
weather attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers,
the city has six miles of beaches.
There are also
many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities,
access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating
museums and trendy restaurants, and an array of entertainment
venues. |
 |
| There is an abundance of things
to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: |
| •
Take a 30-minute airboat ride across the Everglades, one
of the most breathtaking natural areas in America. Discover
a variety of fish and birds that inhabit the area, and perhaps
see the most famous Everglades inhabitant - the alligator.
• Enjoy
Sawgrass Reptile Exhibit after your ride and take the opportunity
to touch or possibly hold a small alligator. Discover the
replica of a Seminole Indian village. See tropical birds,
rare snakes, and even the endangered Florida panther. |
•
Take a narrated drive through Port Everglades over the Intercoastal
Waterway and along the famous Fort Lauderdale Beach. Explore
the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Shop the luxurious
stores on Las Olas Boulevard, explore the Riverwalk area
and more. Stop and see Esplanade Park, the crossroads of
the Center for Performing Arts and the Museum of Discovery
and Science.

• Take a 90-minute Intercoastal Waterway cruise, and
hear a lively commentary from the boat's captain on the
history of the New River and Fort Lauderdale's historic
sites. |

When the
Spanish closed their colonial fort on St. Maarten in 1648,
a few Dutch and French soldiers hid on the island and decided
to share it. Soon after, the Netherlands and France signed
a formal agreement to split St. Maarten in half, as it is
today. |
Philipsburg
displays its Dutch heritage in its architecture and landscaping.
The island offers endless stretches of beach, beautiful landscapes
and great shopping. |
|
 |
St.
Thomas is known as an idyllic vacation spot today, but its
history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island
was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling
pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in
the port of Charlotte Amalie. |
This
world-renowned Caribbean island is home to amazing beaches,
gorgeous sea and landscapes and unbelievable duty-free shopping. |
|
 |
One
of the largest islands in the Eastern Caribbean, Puerto Rico's
landscape encompasses mountains, underground caves, coral reefs,
white-sand beaches and an incredibly massive rain forest that
supplies fresh water to most of the island. |
At the same time San Juan, the capital
of the commonwealth, is a big city with a bustling business
district, glitzy resorts and casinos, as well as one of the
most stunning examples of colonial life in the Western world. |
|
|
 |
On the north coast of Hispaniola, surrounded by beautiful mountain slopes and exotic foliage, sits Labadee®, Royal Caribbean's private paradise. This exclusive destination offers pristine beaches, breathtaking scenery and spectacular water activities. We even have an amazing new Aqua Park for kids. |
Regardless of where you go, you'll find yourself embraced by the beautiful landscape. Labadee's native charm, along with its natural beauty, make this a destination not to be missed, and only Royal Caribbean can take you there. |
