Sun-Drenched Reefs – Labadee, Falmouth & Costa Maya

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on December 5, 2027 and visits Labadee, Falmouth Jamaica and Costa Maya. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Haiti, Jamaica and Mexico. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Explorer Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Haiti, Jamaica and Mexico.
