Royal Caribbean just released its Caribbean 2027 to 2028 schedule for most Florida homeports as well as New Orleans and San Juan. Thirteen ships will offer Caribbean cruises, including the upcoming Legend of the Seas, the amplified Allure of the Seas, and a mix of Voyager, Freedom, Radiance, and Vision Class ships.

Below is a look at the most significant changes coming to Florida and nearby ports in 2027 to 2028.

Allure of the Seas Sailing From Two Florida Ports

One of the biggest changes is that Allure of the Seas will operate from both Fort Lauderdale and Miami. At a time when many Oasis Class ships are shifting to shorter itineraries, Allure will continue to offer longer Caribbean sailings.

From Fort Lauderdale, Allure will operate 6- and 8-night Caribbean cruises starting in May 2027 with regular visits to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Curaçao, and Jamaica.
Beginning in November 2027, Allure moves to Miami for 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries that include Samaná in the Dominican Republic.

Grandeur of the Seas Will Sail From San Juan, Colon, and Cartagena

Grandeur of the Seas keeps its traditional San Juan summer season with 7-night Southern Caribbean itineraries, but winter brings a major change.

Starting in December 2027, the ship will homeport in both Cartagena, Colombia, and Colon, Panama. These 7-night sailings will focus on the ABC islands, giving travelers more options to sail to Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao from Latin America.
