Caribbean & Panama – Montego Bay & Cartagena

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from January 23, 2028. This one's 11 nights from Miami, and the route visits Montego Bay, Cartagena, Colon, Puerto Limon, Roatan Island and Belize City. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 6 borders through the Caribbean: Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras and Belize. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Poesia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. 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.
