Castaway Quay – Ocean Cay & Cozumel

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from Miami on January 16, 2027, visiting Roatan Island, Costa Maya, Cozumel, Ocean Cay, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and San Juan. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 5 countries along the Caribbean coast: Honduras, Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. 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 World America (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
