Tropical Splendor – St. Thomas & Puerto Plata

About this cruise

You sail from Miami on March 12, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting St. Thomas, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Celebration Key. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from U.S. Virgin Islands to Bahamas. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Celebration has 18 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Miami and come back with stories from U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
