Fairway Buoy – Half Moon Cay & Baltimore

About this cruise

You board in Miami on September 20, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Nassau, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Puerto Plata (Amber Cove): Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 18 restaurants on Carnival Celebration, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Miami itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 4 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
