Sailor's Wink – CocoCay & Nassau from Lauderdale

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 4 nights from Fort Lauderdale on May 17, 2027, visiting Nassau and CocoCay. With 1 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Don't rush through CocoCay, which is known as Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 7 restaurants on Jewel Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 4 nights. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 2 ports across 4 nights covers a lot.
