Cobalt Shallows – Aruba & Curaçao

About this cruise

You sail from New York on October 31, 2027 and spend 9 nights visiting Oranjestad, Willemstad and Fort Lauderdale. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. You wind up in Fort Lauderdale, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Aruba to United States. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Oasis Of The Seas has 17 dining spots on board, most of them included. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
