Caribbean Escape – Curacao & Aruba

About this cruise

You sail from Fort Lauderdale on December 12, 2026 and spend 8 nights visiting Willemstad, Oranjestad, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales and CocoCay. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Curaçao, Aruba, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Legend Of The Seas launched in 2026, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
