Marlin's Path – Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Fort Lauderdale on July 3, 2026 for 3 nights visiting Nassau and CocoCay. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Jewel Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 3-night sailing is a strong place to start.
