Sunny Shores – Aruba & Bahamas

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Port Canaveral on October 31, 2026 visits Willemstad, Oranjestad and Celebration Key. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The Caribbean route takes in Curaçao, Aruba and Bahamas, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Celebration Key stands out. It's Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Vista keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
