Tropical Escape – Puerto Plata & Bahamas

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 6-night sailing from Port Canaveral on October 11, 2026 visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Celebration Key alone is worth the trip, Carnival's newest private island escape. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Carnival Vista, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 6 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
