Day 1 & 9 - Miami, Florida
 Go on parade at glamorous South Beach , famed for its colourful art deco buildings, white sand and lively nightlife. Soak up the sounds of salsa and merengue in atmospheric Little Havana, where you’ll find coffee shops, cigar shops, markets and Cuban bakeries. Shop till you drop in the modern malls or tee off on one of the many golf courses. For thrills, take a speedboat ride or explore the rich marine life of the Florida Reef.
Days 2 - A Day at Sea!
 Sit back, kick off your shoes and put your feet up during our 'at sea' days, where you can chill in the bar, lounge by the pool or enjoy a relaxing beauty treatment in the spa. For simple pleasures, why not try a game of table tennis? Or if you’re feeling energetic, now’s the chance to explore all the amazing activities the ship has to offer, from spectacular, West-End-style entertainment to adrenalin-charged sports.
Day 3 - Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
 Puerto Plata is the Dominican Republic's oldest city in the north and a tourism pioneer. Nestled by the ocean with a mountainous backdrop, the city offers a lively pier, which is known as the Malecon, colorful shops, and opulent homes from the 1800s. The city is famous for Parque Independencia (also known as Parque Central), a park fringed by royal palms and Victorian architecture. In Puerto Plata, you can hop on a cable car for sky-high views, take a tour of the local cacao farms, and buy some of the clearest amber in the world.
Day 4 - San Juan, Puerto Rico
 Puerto Rico’s 500-year-old capital is a history buff’s dream come true. The Spanish settled this harbor as a New World home base, and that influence is still evident, from the fortress walls lining the coastline to the rainbow of colonial buildings along narrow streets. Venture further out from the old town and nature unfolds. You can scale high into the jungled mountains of El Yunque Forest, or keep to the foothills on a riverside horseback ride.
Day 5 - Philipsburg, St. Maarten
 What makes St. Maarten so unique is its blend of cultures. The island is home to 120 different nationalities speaking over 80 languages, and is governed by two countries: the Netherlands and France. In fact, it’s the smallest land mass in the world to be shared by two different nations. While it may be less than 40 square miles, there’s plenty to do on this little island: you can travel back in time while exploring centuries-old ruins and get your adrenaline fix ziplining through lush tropical forests.
Day 6 - St.John's, Antigua
 Antigua has a beach for every day of the year— literally. But the island experience goes beyond 365 distinct ribbons of white sand and clear waters. In the capital city of St. John's, you’ll discover charming candy-colored architecture, lively markets, and a beautiful baroque cathedral. And smiling locals greet you everywhere you go. Past Antigua’s yacht-studded coastline, you’ll find upscale boutiques, wild forest trails, hidden coves, and coral reefs bustling with tropical fish.
Days 7 & 8 - Day at Sea!
 Whether you seek an adrenaline rush or total tranquility, our ship have it all. Catch a dive-in movie on the poolside screen. Scale the Rock Climbing Wall. Melt away land-based stress with a spa massage, build a scrapbook of memories or simply relax poolside. World-class performers from across the globe come together on our ships to WOW you from morning to night. Catch Broadway musicals, thrilling casino action, live comedy and music, bars, clubs and much more.
