Stucco Shadows – Willemstad & Oranjestad

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Cartagena on May 24, 2026 and visits Oranjestad, Willemstad and Colon. It splits nicely: 3 days seeing places and 3 days doing nothing at all. The Caribbean route takes in Aruba, Curaçao and Panama, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Grandeur Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
