Splash Start – Coco Cay from Fort Lauderdale

About this cruise

Book 3 days off from October 16, 2026 and this cruise from Fort Lauderdale will do the rest, taking you to CocoCay and back. In between port days, the 1 sea days are where cruise life actually happens: reading, eating, napping, repeat. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. CocoCay alone is worth the trip, Royal Caribbean's private island playground. Jewel Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Works well as a long weekend away, or a quick reset between bigger trips. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
