Island Oasis – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on November 22, 2026 and visits St. Thomas, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Celebration Key. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Caribbean route takes in U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Carnival Celebration keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 11 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
