  • Itineraries: Weeklong Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami.

🗺️ Our Sailing Route

🌴 Miami, Florida (Embarkation)

Miami is one of the world's biggest cruise hubs. Arrive a day early if you can, and explore South Beach, Little Havana, and Wynwood's street art.

🏖️ Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

This north-coast port offers beaches, a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres, and the town's historic center.

🏰 Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

Blue cobblestone streets and colorful buildings. Don't miss Castillo San Felipe del Morro (El Morro), the massive 16th-century fort overlooking the harbor, and its sister fortress San Cristóbal, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.

🐠 Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

MSC's private island sits about 65 miles from Miami. Once an industrial sand-mining site, it has been transformed into a protected marine reserve with coral restoration and beaches.

🧳 Cruise Planning Tips From Our Trip

  1. Passports: U.S. citizens may be able to sail round-trip with a birth certificate and photo ID, but a passport is much safer. Check current requirements.

  2. Arrive a day early and build in flight buffer.

  3. Book excursions early and know your all-aboard time.

  4. Pack smart: reef-safe sunscreen, a day bag, water shoes, and a cruise-approved power strip.

  5. Plan your drinks, dining, and Wi-Fi packages before you sail.

  6. Choose your cabin location carefully if you're sensitive to motion or noise.

  7. Consider a purposeful cruise, like ours, which combined continuing education with a vacation.

  8. Let a travel advisor handle the details.

Itineraries, ports, and ship features change, so confirm current details with the cruise line before you book.

Our Deep Dive Recap: Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

The TravelWives are officially back on shore! We're Shannon and Kahla, and we're here to give you all the specific, must-know, sometimes-hilarious details about our sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, amazing food, and learning a few cruise hacks along the way. Pre-Cruise Perfection: Hollywood Beach is a Must Let’s start with the non-negotiable step: the pre-cruise stay. Cruising out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is easy, but you absolutely have to fly in the night before. Kathleen and Kahla arrived early and stayed right in Hollywood Beach, FL. Seriously, book it! The area is fantastic, the Broadwalk is a whole vibe, and you can practically taste the ocean air already. It’s the best way to kick off a vacation and avoid travel day stress. Hollywood Beach Fl for the win, every single time! The Good, The Gluten-Free, and The Great Service The ship's service was outstanding, especially when it came to dining: Gl...
