Locks & Tropics – Cartagena & Cabo

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 16 nights from Seattle on October 8, 2026, visiting Cabo San Lucas, Puntarenas, Panama Canal, Cartagena and Mobile. You finish in Mobile. 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. 5 countries (Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and United States) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. 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, You won't go hungry on Carnival Spirit. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
