Princess Commodore-level specialist
Caribbean sailings from Port Canaveral, Tampa, Miami and Fort Lauderdale — paired with the Florida beaches, springs and theme parks around them. One trip, two vacations, planned end to end by a Florida-local, nurse-led advisor and Commodore-level Princess specialist.
Every Florida port sails a different mix of Caribbean itineraries. Tell me where you're flying into — or driving from — and I'll match you to the port that saves you the most time and money.
Cape Canaveral (Space Coast)
Caribbean sailings that pair perfectly with Orlando theme park days — the classic land-and-sea week.
About 45 minutes east of Orlando
Tampa
Western Caribbean routes with a shorter, calmer Gulf departure and easy Gulf-coast beach add-ons.
About 90 minutes west of Orlando
Miami
The widest choice of Caribbean itineraries, plus South Beach nights before or after you sail.
South Florida, on Biscayne Bay
Fort Lauderdale
Southern and Eastern Caribbean sailings, minutes from the airport — the smoothest fly-and-cruise.

Fly from Miami or Tampa
For couples and honeymooners who want Europe without repacking every two days.
April–October
Check my datesSpace Coast · 15 min from the port
Rocket Garden, the Atlantis shuttle, and launch viewing if your dates line up.
Tip: Perfect pre-cruise day — the port is minutes away.
Florida Keys
Sunset street performers, Duval Street, and the Hemingway Home.
Tip: Go on a weekday; cruise-day crowds thin out after 6pm.
Scenic 30A
Airstream food trucks, pastel cottages, and the softest sand in the state.
Tip: Rent bikes — parking is the only hard part of 30A.
Destin
A shallow sandbar you float in, reachable only by boat or pontoon.
Tip: Book the pontoon before you fly; summer slots vanish.
Panama City Beach
Seven undeveloped miles of dunes, dolphins, and clear Gulf water.
Tip: Take the morning shuttle for calm water and shade.
Nature Coast
Swim with manatees in winter; 72° springs all year.
Tip: November–March is manatee season — reserve a guide.
Tampa
Cuban sandwiches, the Riverwalk, and an easy pre-flight base.
Tip: Great one-night stay before an Alaska or Europe flight.
Miami
Art Deco district, Wynwood murals, and late dinners by the water.
Tip: Stay near the port the night before a Fort Lauderdale sailing.
Arrive a day early — Orlando, Tampa, Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Weather delays never cost you the ship.
30A, Destin, the Keys, or Disney and Universal. I build the days around your pace.
Caribbean, Bahamas, Panama Canal, Alaska or the Mediterranean — cabin picked to your priorities.
A post-cruise night before you fly so nobody goes home exhausted.
Sailing with 8 or more cabins, a family reunion, a wedding group, or a company incentive trip? See group booking rates and perks.
