Golden Sands & Trade Winds – San Juan & Oranjestad
About this cruise
This one leaves Miami on January 10, 2028 and spends 9 nights visiting Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), San Juan, Oranjestad and Willemstad at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The route threads through 4 countries along the Caribbean coast: Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Aruba and Curaçao. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 12 restaurants on Independence Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
