Majestic Princess: 12-Night Cruise from New York - November 7, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Experience the thrill of watching planes fly low over the beach as they approach the nearby airport.

The Majestic Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Port of Basseterre, St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Walking through downtown Basseterre reveals colorful colonial buildings, the central Circus Square, and a variety of local shops and cafés.

Your ship arrives in St. Lucia, Caribbean at 8:00 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 Pitons are St. Lucia's most iconic landmarks, rising steeply from the sea along the island's western coast.

With 13 hours hours in Curacao, Caribbean - from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Trying a casual lunch spot or bakery offers insight into everyday island life.

The Majestic Princess carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Port of Oranjestad, Aruba, Caribbean. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. Walking through downtown Oranjestad provides a mix of colonial Dutch architecture, colorful shops, and waterfront views.

Your cruise ends in Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida, where the Majestic Princess is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Las Olas Boulevard is the heart of the city for shopping, dining, and people watching.
