Thomas, San Juan, Grand Turk, and Nassau, while the western Caribbean
route will call at Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Mahogany Bay in
Isla Roatan.
Prior

eight-day cruises – a New York to San Juan departure calling at St.
Thomas, St. Kitts, Antigua and
St. Maarten departing October 24, 2014 and a San Juan to Miami voyage
visiting St. Croix, Martinique, Grenada, Dominica and Grand Turk
departing November 1, 2014.
