Palm-Fringed Bliss – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

This one leaves Miami on June 27, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Celebration Key, St. Thomas and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 3 port days and 3 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. As for the ship itself, There are 18 restaurants on Carnival Celebration, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
