Tropical Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas

About this cruise

There's a reason 6-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Port Canaveral on October 10, 2027 and visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. 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, Carnival Festivale (2027) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
