Shortcake Sands – Nassau & CocoCay from Lauderdale

About this cruise

3 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Fort Lauderdale on June 26, 2026 visits Nassau and CocoCay and you'll feel it from day one. There's a new port every day, so you'll do your relaxing on board in the evenings rather than during dedicated sea days. 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, Jewel Of The Seas has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 3-night sailing is a strong place to start.
