Caribbean Escape – Curacao & Aruba

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Fort Lauderdale on June 12, 2027 visits Willemstad, Oranjestad, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales and CocoCay. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. The Caribbean route takes in Curaçao, Aruba, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Oranjestad stands out. It's Aruba's cheerful Dutch-Caribbean capital. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
