Sun-Soaked Adventure – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Miami on November 29, 2026 and visits CocoCay, St. Thomas and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). The pace is well balanced: 3 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 12 restaurants on Independence Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Miami and come back with stories from Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic.
