Caribbean Dreams – Coco Cay & Samana

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Miami on March 19, 2028, visiting CocoCay, Samaná, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Labadee. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Haiti, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Allure Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 21 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
