Caribbean Escape – St. Thomas & San Juan

About this cruise

By May 2, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Port Canaveral, visiting St. Thomas, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Grand Turk Island, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos Islands. 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, There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Vista, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
