Neon Sands – CocoCay & Nassau from New York

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from New York on August 30, 2026 visits Port Canaveral, Nassau and CocoCay. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in New York, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. CocoCay stands out. It's Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Oasis Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 17 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
