Norwegian Sun: 11-Night Cruise from Miami - January 2, 2027

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Falmouth, Jamaica, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Walking through Falmouth reveals restored buildings, open squares, and local businesses woven into everyday life.

The Norwegian Sun is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Cartagena, Colombia are plentiful. Plan your top priorities in advance and you'll generally find services accessible without long waits. Walking the old city is the essential Cartagena experience.

Arriving in Colon, Panama at 5:00 PM with only 3 hours hours before your 8:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Seeing the canal in action is the highlight for many visitors.

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Panama Canal/Gatun Lake, Panama, from 5:00 AM to 3:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Your ship arrives in Harvest Caye, Belize at 9:30 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The main beach at Harvest Caye offers soft sand, clear shallow water, and plenty of loungers.

You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cozumel, Mexico, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing.

Your cruise ends in Miami, Florida, where the Norwegian Sun is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Food lovers can explore Latin American cuisine, while sun seekers enjoy miles of sandy shoreline and turquoise waters.
