Caribbean Getaway – Aruba & Dominican Republic

About this cruise

8 nights, 3 ports, all from Port Canaveral on August 8, 2026. The route visits Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and the whole thing just flows. 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. Rum punch at the beach bar, snorkelling off the dock, sunsets that are genuinely worth staring at. 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 Vista. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
