Tropical Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas

About this cruise

6 nights, 3 ports, all from Port Canaveral on April 12, 2026. The route visits Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) 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 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, There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Vista, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
