Windswept Palms – Puerto Plata & Nassau

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Port Canaveral on December 19, 2026 visits Nassau, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key and doesn't try to cram in too much. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Nassau, Colonial charm meets Caribbean colour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 16 restaurants on Carnival Mardi Gras, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Port Canaveral itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
