Paradise Pursuit – Costa Rica & Grand Cayman

About this cruise

You sail from Tampa on January 16, 2027 and spend 8 nights visiting Puerto Limon, Colon and Grand Cayman Island. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Costa Rica, Panama and Cayman Islands. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Legend takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Tampa has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
