ITINERARY
December in the Eastern Caribbean delivers warm water and comfortable walking weather for exploring centuries-old fortifications. Three sea days aboard Symphony of the Seas provide ample time to reset and utilize the ship's extensive dining and entertainment before reaching the islands. In St. Kitts, prioritize Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park; this UNESCO World Heritage site sits high on a volcanic hill and offers a rugged contrast to typical beach stops. San Juan is highly walkable right from the pier. Head straight for Castillo San Cristóbal and navigate the 500-year-old walled city on foot at your own pace. The Bahamas calls include Perfect Day at CocoCay, where you can choose between the high-energy Thrill Waterpark or the expansive Oasis Lagoon freshwater pool. In Nassau, walk past the immediate port area to climb the 66-step Queen's Staircase—a remarkable passage carved from solid limestone.
For more details, see our port-by-port descriptions below the itinerary table.
Too often treated merely as a logistical waypoint between the airport and the gangway, Fort Lauderdale is a destination that quietly rewards those who choose to linger. To view it solely as a departure lounge is to miss the essence of a city that has gracefully matured from a rowdy spring break capital into a sophisticated, nautical metropolis. While it lacks the frenetic, high-voltage energy of Miami to the south, that is precisely its appeal. Fort Lauderdale offers a refined, accessible coastal experience defined by 165 miles of navigable waterways, earning it the moniker “The Venice of America.”
For the educated traveler, this city offers a compelling argument for extending your vacation by 24 to 48 hours. The infrastructure here is built around the water, not just as a backdrop, but as a thoroughfare. The most authentic way to understand the city’s layout and soul is not by car, but from the deck of the Water Taxi. While we generally advise against tourist-heavy transport, this is the exception. It serves as a floating, hop-on-hop-off architecture tour that glides along the Intracoastal Waterway. From this vantage point, the city unfolds: stunning mid-century modern waterfront mansions, sleek mega-yachts, and lush mangrove-lined shores. It connects the key districts—from the historic riverfront to the beach—allowing you to explore without the stress of traffic or parking.
The Cultural and Social Hubs
At the center of the city’s social life is Las Olas Boulevard. This beautifully landscaped thoroughfare stretches from the central business district to the ocean, lined with independent boutiques, art galleries, and a diverse array of restaurants. It is eminently walkable and polished without being pretentious. Here, you can browse contemporary art or fine jewelry before settling into a bustling Italian trattoria or a quiet table at a modern American bistro. For those interested in history, the nearby Stranahan House—the oldest surviving structure in Broward County—offers a glimpse into the frontier trading post days of the early 1900s.
Beyond the shopping and dining, Fort Lauderdale offers accessible cultural experiences that provide a deeper sense of place. The Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a standout. This historic 35-acre estate, once the winter retreat of artists Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, feels like a secret garden frozen in time, surrounded by modern development. You can tour the whimsical home, filled with the couple’s art, and wander through lush grounds that include a desert garden and native barrier island habitat. It is a tranquil escape that reveals the charm of Old Florida.
For art enthusiasts, the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale features a notable collection of American and European modern art, with particular strength in Latin American works and the largest collection of pieces by American impressionist William Glackens. It is a manageable museum, perfect for a few hours of quiet contemplation.
The Coast
Then, of course, there is the beach. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a magnificent stretch of pale sand and turquoise water, framed by a signature white wave wall. Unlike the crowded, party-centric beaches found elsewhere in South Florida, the atmosphere here is more relaxed and grown-up. The beachfront promenade is ideal for a morning walk or bike ride, and the beach itself is wide enough to ensure personal space. It attracts professionals and families seeking sun and serenity rather than spectacle.
An Unhurried Pre-Cruise Itinerary
Arriving a couple of days early transforms the start of your vacation from a stressful travel day into a seamless extension of your holiday. This pace allows for discovery without exhaustion.
Day 1: Arrival & Waterway Immersion
Afternoon: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is conveniently located just minutes from the city center and port. After checking into your hotel, head immediately for a waterfront lunch. We recommend finding a spot along the Intracoastal where you can watch the boat traffic—restaurants like Coconuts or 15th Street Fisheries offer fresh seafood and a quintessential nautical vibe.
Late Afternoon: Purchase an all-day pass for the Water Taxi. Don’t worry about a specific destination just yet; simply ride the main loop. It is the perfect orientation, allowing you to appreciate the city’s unique geography and stunning architecture from the water as the sun begins to lower.
Evening: Disembark at the Las Olas Boulevard stop. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, browse the shops, and select a restaurant for dinner. The boulevard is beautifully lit at night, creating a festive yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Day 2: Culture, Coast & Relaxation
Morning: Take a short ride to the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. We recommend arriving close to opening time to beat the heat and the crowds. Allow at least two hours to explore the house and the sprawling grounds. It is a peaceful and utterly unique Florida experience.
Lunch: Head toward the beach and find a casual café along A1A for a light lunch with an ocean breeze.
Afternoon: Dedicate the afternoon to the beach. Whether you choose to walk the promenade, rent a lounge chair, or take a dip in the Atlantic, this is your time to unwind completely. If you prefer to stay out of the sun, the NSU Art Museum is an excellent, climate-controlled alternative.
Evening: For your final dinner, consider a "Dock and Dine" experience. Many of the city's best restaurants are accessible by boat or overlook the canals. Enjoying fresh stone crab or local snapper while watching the yachts glide by is the definitive Fort Lauderdale dining experience.
Embarkation Day
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast. With Port Everglades located just a few miles from most downtown and beach hotels, there is absolutely no need to rush. A short, stress-free transfer to the port will have you boarding your ship feeling refreshed, acclimated, and already steeped in the vacation mindset.
At Sea - Cruising
Basseterre, St. Kitts
Nathalie Fernandez / RCI DAM
St. Kitts stands out in the Caribbean for its dramatic topography and deep colonial history, offering a richer experience than the standard beach-only destination. The island is dominated by dormant volcanoes and lush rainforests, providing a backdrop that feels wilder and more rugged than many of its neighbors.
The premier attraction is undoubtedly Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this massive British fortification sits high atop a volcanic hill. It requires a bit of a climb, but the panoramic views across the Caribbean Sea to Sint Eustatius and Saba are spectacular. It is a genuine highlight for history enthusiasts and photographers alike, well worth the entry fee and the drive.
For a more relaxed tour of the landscape, the St. Kitts Scenic Railway is unique in the region. Originally built to transport sugar cane, the double-decker train loops around the coast, offering a comfortable way to see the villages and countryside that are otherwise hard to access. Alternatively, a stop at Romney Manor offers a blend of nature and culture; the botanical gardens feature a magnificent 400-year-old Saman tree and house Caribelle Batik, where you can watch local artisans at work.
If a beach day is your priority, we advise skipping the Atlantic side and heading to the Southeast Peninsula. The drive itself is scenic, crossing the narrow isthmus with views of both oceans. South Friars Bay and Cockleshell Bay offer the best calm waters and soft sands, lined with casual beach bars facing the peak of Nevis.
Basseterre itself is a bustling, authentic Caribbean town rather than a sanitized tourist trap. While Port Zante is filled with standard duty-free shops, a walk into the town center reveals the Circus—modeled after Piccadilly in London—and Independence Square, a poignant reminder of the island's history as a former slave market. We recommend prioritizing the island tour or the peninsula beaches, using the town primarily for a brief historical stroll before returning to the ship.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Charles Harris / RCI DAM
San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.
Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. Start at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.
Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.
Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.
CocoCay, Bahamas
Perfect Day at CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private Bahamian island, engineered entirely for high-quality leisure. The destination is smartly zoned by energy level, allowing you to dial in exactly the type of beach day you want.
For adrenaline seekers, the upcharge Thrill Waterpark houses North America's tallest waterslide, Daredevil's Peak, alongside massive wave pools. If you want a lively, complimentary resort-pool atmosphere, head to Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean's largest freshwater pool, complete with a swim-up bar and DJ.
If you prefer a traditional beach day without additional fees, Chill Island and South Beach provide ample loungers, umbrellas, and calm, clear waters. Complimentary dining is available throughout the island at venues like Skipper's Grill and the Chill Grill.
For a more sophisticated experience away from the crowds, two premium upcharge areas stand out. The Coco Beach Club offers an oceanfront infinity pool, elevated dining, and the Bahamas' first overwater cabanas. Alternatively, Hideaway Beach is an adults-only (18+) zone featuring a private cove, heated pool, and dedicated dining venues like Slice of Paradise.
The island features a deep-water pier, meaning no tender boats are required—you can walk right off the ship. Shipboard Wi-Fi and beverage packages seamlessly extend to the island, making logistics effortless.
Nassau, Bahamas
RCI DAM
Nassau is a bustling, high-energy hub that requires a strategic approach to appreciate fully. The immediate port area is often congested and commercialized; your best experience lies in navigating beyond the souvenir stalls to find the island’s genuine character.
For a meaningful dose of history, a short walk leads to the Queen's Staircase, a remarkable 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by enslaved people in the 18th century. It ascends to Fort Fincastle, offering commanding views of the island and a quiet respite from the downtown noise. For a more refined local taste, the John Watling's Distillery on the historic Buena Vista Estate provides tours and tastings in a setting that feels worlds away from the cruise terminal.
If a classic beach day is your priority, we advise looking beyond the nearest options, which can be crowded and underwhelming. A taxi to the expansive sands of Cable Beach or, for a more curated experience, a day pass to one of the major resorts on Paradise Island will provide the tranquil, turquoise-water escape you envision. These passes often grant access to pristine private beaches and high-quality amenities, turning a potentially hectic port day into a truly relaxing one.
For the most authentic local flavor, take a taxi to Arawak Cay, known as 'The Fish Fry.' This is where Bahamians go for fresh conch salad, fried snapper, and a vibrant, casual atmosphere. It offers a true taste of the islands that the port-side buffets simply cannot match.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?
Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.
TRIP CANCELLATION
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:
A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
Your parent or child requires hospitalization
You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
TRIP INTERRUPTION
Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:
You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
TRAVEL DELAY
If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE
Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*
*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
