Caribbean Escape – St Maarten & San Juan

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Miami on May 2, 2026, visiting Philipsburg, San Juan and Labadee. 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Sint Maarten, Puerto Rico and Haiti. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. As for the ship itself, Icon Of The Seas (2024) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
