Warm Waters Await – Nassau & Aruba

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Fort Lauderdale on November 21, 2026 and visits Nassau, Cabo Rojo-Pedernales, Oranjestad and Willemstad. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. Crossing 4 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Aruba and Curaçao. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, Adventure Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 10 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Fort Lauderdale has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
