Caribbean Jewels – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on May 10, 2026 and visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), St. Thomas and Celebration Key. It splits nicely: 3 days seeing places and 3 days doing nothing at all. The Caribbean route takes in Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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, Carnival Celebration keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 11 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas.
