Caribbean Escape – San Juan & Grand Turk

About this cruise

You board in San Juan on May 1, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Basseterre, St. John's, Philipsburg, Grand Turk Island and Fort Lauderdale, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The sailing ends in Fort Lauderdale. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Sint Maarten, Turks & Caicos Islands and United States, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Basseterre: Volcanic peaks over a Caribbean harbour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Jewel Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in San Juan before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
