Cobalt Shallows – Puerto Plata & Sint Maarten

About this cruise

You board in Fort Lauderdale on October 29, 2026 for 10 nights visiting Princess Cays, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Philipsburg, St. John's and Basseterre, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 6 countries, from Bahamas to St. Kitts & Nevis. Philipsburg stands out. It's Two nations, one island, infinite beaches. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Coral Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
