Caribbean Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas
About this cruise
It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 5 nights from Port Canaveral on November 6, 2026, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Great Stirrup Cay. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 2 stops with a breather between each one. Snorkelling, palm trees, rum. Each stop does it a bit differently. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Getaway takes the food seriously, with 18 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. Port Canaveral 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 5-night sailing is a strong place to start.
