Caribbean Escape – Puerto Plata, San Juan & St. Thomas

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on March 21, 2026 and visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg and St. Thomas. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. 4 countries (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Magic. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
