What Participants Are Saying:
Dr. Firestone and Dr. Rodgers were both quite polished in their presentations and had expansive knowledge in their respective subjects. Their styles were relaxed and interactive. The attendees were engaged in all of the sessions, and the role-playing exercises and discussions were very helpful. I was impressed, and will return for more courses in the future!

PORTS OF CALL
Miami, Florida
Miami is far more than the world’s busiest cruise port; it’s a destination that deserves its own chapter in your vacation story. We strongly encourage our clients to view Miami not as a logistical hurdle before their cruise, but as the vibrant, culturally rich opening act. Arriving a day or two early does more than just eliminate the stress of same-day travel—it allows you to immerse yourself in the energy of one of America's most dynamic cities, ensuring you step onto your ship already relaxed and in a vacation state of mind.
Your Pre-Cruise Miami Itinerary
Upon arriving at Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), a rideshare or taxi can have you settled into your hotel in South Beach, Brickell, or Downtown in under 30 minutes. We recommend choosing your neighborhood based on your preferred style: South Beach for the iconic Art Deco glamour and beach access, or Brickell for a sleek, modern urban experience with a fantastic dining scene.
Day 1: Arrival, Architecture, and Atmosphere
After checking in, spend your first afternoon acquainting yourself with the iconic scenery of South Beach. This isn't just a party destination; it's a protected architectural district. Take a leisurely stroll along Ocean Drive to admire the pastel-hued Art Deco masterpieces. For a more tranquil experience, head to South Pointe Park at the southern tip of the island. Here, you can watch ships glide through Government Cut against the backdrop of the downtown skyline—a perfect, low-key introduction to the city's maritime soul.
For dinner, bypass the tourist-heavy spots on Ocean Drive and explore the sophisticated restaurants in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood or the diverse, international options in Brickell. This is your chance to enjoy a world-class meal without a schedule, from fresh, locally-sourced seafood to innovative Latin American cuisine.
Day 2: A Tale of Two Cultures
Start your day the way Miamians do: with a shot of authentic Cuban culture. Head to Little Havana and walk the famous Calle Ocho. Find a *ventanita* (a small walk-up coffee window) and order a potent, sweet *cafecito* and a flaky *pastelito* (guava pastry is the classic). The experience is about more than just the coffee; it's about the sounds of Spanish, the rhythm of salsa music, and the sight of locals debating over a game of dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park. It’s an accessible, genuine cultural immersion.
In the afternoon, witness the city’s stunning contrasts. First, visit the Wynwood Walls, an extraordinary outdoor museum of large-scale murals by some of the world's best street artists. The surrounding neighborhood is a canvas in itself, with vibrant art on nearly every building. It’s a visual feast that’s both contemporary and completely approachable.
From there, travel back in time at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This Gilded Age estate, with its Italian Renaissance-inspired villa and sprawling formal gardens on the edge of Biscayne Bay, offers a glimpse into Miami's opulent past. The juxtaposition of Wynwood's modern grit and Vizcaya's timeless elegance perfectly encapsulates the city's multifaceted character.
Embarkation Day
Wake up refreshed and without pressure. Enjoy a final Miami breakfast before taking a short 15-20 minute ride to the Port of Miami. You’ll arrive calm and collected, having already banked two days of enriching travel experiences. By treating the start of your journey with this much intention, you don't just see a port city—you connect with it, making your entire vacation more memorable from the very first moment.
At Sea - Cruising
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.
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
RCI DAM
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (the Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.
Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.
To experience the island's true charm, cross the border to the French side (St. Martin). The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in the capital of Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.
Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices:
Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead at Princess Juliana International Airport—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique.
For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.
A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to the Philipsburg cruise terminal.
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
Lili Moras / RCI DAM
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.
Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.
Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.
CocoCay, Bahamas
Jet Setting Family / RCI DAM
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.

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

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

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
