Tropical Tryst – San Juan & St. Thomas

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 8-night sailing from Miami on September 5, 2026 visits Princess Cays, San Juan, Philipsburg and St. Thomas. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Miami, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Sint Maarten and U.S. Virgin Islands, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Keep an eye out for Princess Cays: A private slice of Eleuthera's beauty. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Magic keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Miami before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 8 nights well spent.
