Golden Sands – Coco Cay & Samana

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Miami on March 5, 2028 visits CocoCay, Samaná, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Labadee. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic and Haiti. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. People come back from this cruise talking about CocoCay: Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Allure Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 21 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 March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 4 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
