Tropical Haven – Puerto Plata & Coco Cay

About this cruise

You leave Miami on January 4, 2027 and come back 5 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and CocoCay. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. You get around 10 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 Freedom Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. 5 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
