Sunlit Wake – Nassau & CocoCay from New York

About this cruise

This one leaves New York on June 12, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Port Canaveral, Nassau and CocoCay at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Oasis Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 17 restaurants to choose from. 8 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. New York has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
