Windswept Palms – Cozumel & Stirrup Cay

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 5 nights from Port Canaveral on June 18, 2027, visiting Cozumel and Great Stirrup Cay. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Port to port, the water changes colour and the music changes too. That's the fun of it. Of the stops, Great Stirrup Cay tends to be the one people talk about: A private Bahamian escape. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 17 restaurants on Norwegian Escape, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
