Golden Sands Adventure – Puerto Plata & San Juan

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 8 nights from Port Canaveral on May 30, 2026, visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, St. Thomas and Celebration Key. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Bahamas. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Celebration Key alone is worth the trip, Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Vista takes the food seriously, with 14 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
