ABC Paradise – Bonaire, Curaçao & Aruba
About this cruise
This one leaves Miami on October 7, 2027 and spends 9 nights visiting CocoCay, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Willemstad, Kralendijk and Oranjestad at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Crossing 5 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Caribbean Netherlands and Aruba. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Freedom Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
