Miami, Florida 

Welcome to the official Cruise Capital of the World, a world-class city with a world-class beach. Before your cruise from Miami, stay and play. Within view of Miami cruises, colorful characters from macaws to monkeys greet you at Jungle Island, with pink flamingos, white cockatoos, and green parrots. In Miami Beach, iconic Lummus Park frames the Art Deco hotels, fashion models, and fancy cars. From South Pointe Park, watch the ships glide out to sea. On Lincoln Road, you could spend three months eating at a different restaurant every day—trust us, we did it. Up the coast at Bal Harbour Shops, designer boutiques challenge fashionistas, who shop till they drop at Haulover Park Beach, where the north end is clothing optional.

Cruises from Miami dock near Bayfront Park, a place to stroll the bay and get a bite. The Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science just debuted with a spectacular planetarium, and the new Pérez Art Museum Miami truly embraces its bay-side perch. A bit north, hipsters have turned graffiti into serious street art in the world's most unique arts district, Wynwood, while the Miami Design District attracts fans of interiors and fashion.

In Little Havana, urban pioneers rehab old buildings and open new restaurants, bars, and shops. In Mediterranean-style Coral Gables, you can swim in Venetian Pool, a coral quarry transformed into a giant swimming hole with waterfalls, caves, and grottoes. Woodsy Coconut Grove is a cool neighborhood surrounding a marina where Miami City Hall originally served as the seaplane base. Vizcaya Museum & Gardens displays priceless furnishings and art in a grand estate.

Dining in Greater Miami is fresh on many levels. The seafood served tonight was still swimming this morning. Before cruises from Miami, visitors enjoy Florida lobster, grouper, mahi-mahi, pompano, snapper, and stone crabs. The go-to lunch is a Cuban sandwich, and the coffee is Cuban, too. Enjoy anything orange—slices, juices, sauces, marmalades, and dressings. More fruits include mango, papaya, jackfruit, avocado, and passion. The must-have dessert is sweet, tart, creamy, key lime pie, made from yellow key limes, not green Persian limes. Take advantage of Miami cruises to indulge.
Travel Tips
1
Public transportation in Miami includes the Metrobus, the Metrorail, the Metromover, and the trolley. The Metrobus is a bus system that runs all around the Greater Miami area, while the Metrorail runs from the north to the south end of Miami with stops in downtown. The free Metromover covers downtown Miami and Brickell and also connects with the Metrorail and Metrobus at downtown stations. For traveling around Miami and Miami Beach, trolleys offer free services with many routes available. If you prefer private transportation, taxis are widely available, as are cars through ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft.
2
There’s world-class shopping all over Miami, but for shops near the port, head to Bayside Marketplace, overlooking Biscayne Bay. This mall has open-air walkways leading to over 100 shops. At this mall, you’ll also find restaurants and bars, street performers and live music, and even a launchpad for boat tours along the Miami coastline. Brickell City Centre is also close to the port, offering four levels of shopping, dining, and entertainment, and housing some international names such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Nike, Lululemon, and Sephora.
3
The currency in Miami, Florida is the U.S. dollar, and you’ll be able to find ATMs all over the city. Tipping is part of the local culture and is expected in restaurants, bars, and taxis. A common tip for most services is 15% to 20% of the total amount.

Nassau, Bahamas 

Bustling markets and tranquil beaches define the vibrant spirit of Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas. Just three blocks from the port, the Nassau Straw Market brims with vendors, shoppers, and pirates, offering authentic local crafts. Minutes away, expansive white-sand beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs beckon, perfect spots for observing sharks, swimming with dolphins, or enjoying water slides for the young and young at heart.

A short ferry ride takes you to Paradise Island, home to the legendary Atlantis Resort. Here, you can explore the mythical streets at Ruins Lagoon, walk through underwater shark tunnels at Predator Lagoon, or make a personal connection with gentle dolphins at Dolphin Cay, an accredited marine habitat featuring an 11-acre lagoon, sandy beaches, and interactive experiences.

Starting December 2025, elevate your Nassau visit at the new Royal Beach Club℠ Paradise Island by Royal Caribbean. Spend the day at this exclusive, all-inclusive retreat with private cabanas, swim-up bars, and mouthwatering cuisine. Beach day is redefined with some of the best food, cocktails, beaches, and pools in The Bahamas.

For a relaxing island escape, hop to Blue Lagoon Island for sunbathing and dolphin encounters. Or browse Nassau’s duty-free shops and Straw Market on Bay Street, where artisans craft traditional straw hats and artwork using centuries-old techniques. Savor Nassau’s fresh seafood, including fried snapper and grouper, conch dishes, and more. Round out your experience with rum-based beverages to enjoy an authentic Bahamian adventure.

Travel Tips
1
There are plenty of ways to get around Nassau. Taxis are plentiful, while car rental is available, although you’d need to get used to driving on the left. Scooters and ATVs are also available. Water taxis and ferries ply the waters between Nassau and Paradise Island, a journey of around 10 minutes. Local buses are called jitneys and are an affordable way to get around; wave at the jitney to stop it and pay on exit. You’ll need some small change in Bahamian dollars for this.
2
There are craft and souvenir vendors at the cruise terminal, and for more retail therapy, downtown Nassau is just a 10- to 15-minute walk from the port. The famous Nassau Straw Market is ideal for haggling for conch jewelry and handwoven straw bags. For more upscale shopping, Bay Street has high-end fashion and duty-free goods. There are multiple retail possibilities at Atlantis on Paradise Island, too; Crystal Court is where you’ll find big-name international designers—think of it as the Rodeo Drive of the Bahamas.
3
The currency of the Bahamas is the Bahamian dollar (BSD). It’s pegged to the U.S. Dollar at 1:1, so the two are interchangeable, and your U.S. currency will be accepted here. You may, however, be given change in Bahamian dollars. Tipping in the Bahamas is similar to the United States. Restaurants tend to include a service charge of up to 15%, but an additional cash gratuity is always welcome. Don’t forget to leave a tip for taxi drivers, at least 15% of the fare. Haggling isn’t common, but you can bargain at the local straw markets.

Day at Sea Highlights

Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos 

There's a place for those who want to slow the pace of life. That place is Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks and Caicos. That's not to say that shore excursions on Grand Turk don't run the gamut from horseback riding to stingray swims to catamaran tours—and one of the biggest draws here is diving, with the islands lying along the third largest barrier reef in the world. But traffic is sparse, and with a population of less than 4,000, everybody really does know everybody else's name. There are no fast food restaurants or chain hotels. You may even see a horse or donkey, once a means of transportation during the days of Grand Turk's salting industry, roaming along Governor's Beach or through the narrow alleys in historic Cockburn Town.
Travel Tips
1
The island is only seven square miles, so you can easily explore it in a day. However, there’s little shade, and out of Cockburn Town, few sidewalks, so vehicle rental is best. Cars, Jeeps, golf carts, scooters, and bicycles are all available. Bear in mind that driving here is on the left, as Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory. Taxis wait at the cruise terminal but do not have meters, so agree on the fare in advance. There’s also a hop-on, hop-off open-sided tram that picks up at the cruise terminal and circles the island. Make sure you know the schedule before hopping off as it is your responsibility to get back to your ship on time. The best way to explore the island and return to the ship on time is to book a shore excursion.
2
For duty-free goods, including jewelry, you don’t need to stray beyond the cruise terminal, where there’s a big shopping complex. Otherwise, you’ll find a few galleries and craft shops along Front Street in Cockburn Town. The shop at the National Museum, also on Front Street, has authentic souvenirs including books, prints of vintage postcards, model boats, and hats. Many visitors are tempted to take home some beautiful conch shells as souvenirs. Be aware that, as conch is an endangered species, only three mature shells per person are permitted, and export of the meat or juvenile shells is illegal.
3
The currency of Turks and Caicos is the U.S. Dollar. Most places take credit cards, but beach vendors and small souvenir stalls may not, so always carry some cash. There are a couple of ATMS in Cockburn Town and one at the cruise terminal. Tipping culture is similar to that of the U.S. It’s normal to tip 10-15% in a restaurant, taxi, or bar, but if a service charge of 10% has already been added, it’s acceptable to leave a little less.

Samana, Dominican Republic 

Tucked along the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, Samaná is a lush peninsula where mountains meet the sea. Known for its dramatic coastline, swaying coconut palms, and pristine beaches, this hidden gem offers a quieter, more laid-back side of Caribbean island life.


From January through March, Samaná Bay becomes one of the best spots in the world to witness humpback whales, who migrate here each winter to breed and give birth. Beyond whale watching, guests can explore Los Haitises National Park by boat, wander through mangrove forests, or relax on the powdery white sands of Playa Rincón, consistently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Adventure seekers can zip-line through the rainforest canopy or hike to El Limón waterfall, while those looking to unwind can sample fresh coconut water straight from the source or stroll the charming malecón in Santa Bárbara de Samaná town.


With its blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and authentic local culture, Samaná offers something for every type of traveler.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic 

Puerto Plata was inhabited by the Taino people for centuries before Christopher Columbus arrived and founded the city in the early 1500s. By the 20th century, Puerto Plata had emerged as the Dominican Republic’s main tourism hub. You can paddle through a manatee reserve or zipline over treetops. Go for a swim at the awe-inspiring 27 Waterfalls complex. Hike through the lush, protected jungle of El Choco National Park, enjoying the park’s two lagoons. Swim with dolphins at World Ocean, the largest manmade dolphin habitat in the world, or grab a kayak and head out on the water at Manatee Reserve. Nature, adventure, history – Puerto Plata has it all.
Travel Tips
1
There are numerous ways to get around Puerto Plata. Taxis are plentiful, and some drivers may offer you their services for the whole day, in which case, negotiate a price in advance. Puerto Plata also has Uber. Local minivan buses are called guaguas and will stop when you flag them down and drop you where you say you want to disembark. You’ll need cash for these. Slightly more comfortable but operating on the same basis are carritos, or shared sedan cars, as opposed to vans. Car rental is also available, but be prepared to negotiate busy roads crammed with motorbikes, as you would anywhere in the Dominican Republic.
2
The Dominican Republic is a great place to shop for hand-rolled cigars, rum, Haitian art, mahogany wood carvings, and jewelry made from amber, which is widely found here, or larimar, an opaque blue stone found only in the Dominican Republic. Shops in malls will display prices, which are usually fixed, but if you’re shopping in markets, a little polite haggling is appropriate. You’ll find plenty of shops within Taino Bay, but there’s a wider selection downtown.
3
The Dominican peso is the currency of the Dominican Republic. It’s wise to have some cash to buy local goods from smaller shops and to pay taxi drivers and bus fares. Credit cards are also accepted in many places. Leaving a 10% tip is customary at restaurants, bars, and cafés for good service.
