5 days, round-trip 5 Night Western Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale Cruise

About this cruise

5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Fort Lauderdale on August 15, 2026 visits Cozumel and Disney Castaway Cay and you'll feel it from day one. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Disney Destiny (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 5-night sailing is a strong place to start.
