Island Jewels – Bimini, Grand Cayman & Cozumel
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on December 12, 2027 and visits Bimini, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Grand Cayman Island. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Mexico and Cayman Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Celebrity Xcel (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Bahamas, Mexico and Cayman Islands.
