Caribbean Getaway – Nassau & San Juan

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on December 18, 2026 and spends 10 nights visiting Nassau, Ocean Cay, San Juan and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. That gives you 4 days in port and 3 at sea, enough of each to find a rhythm. Crossing 3 borders through the Bahamas: Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Seaside takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 1 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Miami has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
