Island Odyssey – Costa Rica & Grand Cayman

About this cruise

This one leaves Tampa on April 8, 2028 and spends 8 nights visiting Grand Cayman Island, Colon and Puerto Limon 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 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Cayman Islands, Panama and Costa Rica. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 9 restaurants on Carnival Spirit, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
