Salty Serenade – Aruba & Willemstad

About this cruise

You sail from Miami on September 11, 2027 and spend 8 nights visiting Oranjestad, Kralendijk and Willemstad. 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. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 12 restaurants on Carnival Magic, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
