Florida ports

Onboard personality
The fastest-growing fleet in Florida: World-class mega-ships, Swarovski sparkle, international crowds, and Ocean Cay — a marine-reserve private island with late-night stays that rivals any in the industry.
Best traveler fit
Value hunters who still want new hardware, multigenerational groups, and Ocean Cay devotees.
Weaker fit
Travelers who want a familiar U.S.-line service style and app-free processes.
Common extra costs
Experience-tier differences (drinks/Wi-Fi bundled by tier), specialty dining, spa, Yacht Club upgrades. Every fare also excludes taxes, port fees, and gratuities until the partner's checkout shows the full total.
