Caribbean Grand Tour – Bahamas & Puerto Rico

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Mobile on January 16, 2028 visits Celebration Key, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and San Juan, with additional stops along the Caribbean. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aruba, Curaçao and Jamaica, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Valor keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 9 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
