Caribbean Grand Tour – Grand Turk & San Juan

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Port Canaveral on November 20, 2026 visits Grand Turk Island, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg and Celebration Key. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in Turks & Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Netherlands and Bahamas, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Celebration Key tends to be the one people talk about: Carnival's newest private island escape. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Sky Princess keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
