Tropical Paradise – Puerto Plata & Coco Cay

About this cruise

You leave Port Canaveral on March 30, 2026 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. Turquoise water, white sand, and that particular Caribbean slowness where nothing feels urgent. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Explorer Of The Seas has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
