Spice Route – Montego Bay & Cozumel

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from New Orleans on August 9, 2026 visits Montego Bay, Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Mexico. Of the stops, Grand Cayman Island tends to be the one people talk about: Seven Mile Beach and stingray encounters. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 10 restaurants on Carnival Liberty, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. New Orleans itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
