Charming Coastlines – Aruba & Curacao

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on May 29, 2027 and visits Willemstad, Oranjestad and CocoCay. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Curaçao, Aruba and Bahamas. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 21 restaurants on Allure Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
