Shoreline Shunt – Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Baltimore on May 14, 2026 and visits Port Canaveral, Miami, CocoCay, Nassau and Freeport. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Vision Of The Seas has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 9 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
