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 April 11, 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, 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. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
