Sun-Drenched Reefs – Nassau & Grand Cayman

About this cruise

8 nights, 4 ports, all from Fort Lauderdale on April 8, 2028. The route visits Nassau, Grand Cayman Island, Ocho Rios and Costa Maya and the whole thing just flows. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Mexico, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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 keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Mexico.
