Amber Abyss – Nassau & CocoCay from Lauderdale

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Fort Lauderdale on November 9, 2026, visiting CocoCay and Nassau. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about CocoCay: Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 17 restaurants on Oasis Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
