December Cruises Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 |

This short cruise to the Bahamas in December 2012 would be great for a quick break, or as part of a longer land-based trip to get a taste of the Caribbean. It is aboard the Monarch of the Seas and departs from Port Canaveral on the 3rd of December 2012 for 4 nights at sea.

The first stop is CocoCay, an island reserved exclusively for Royal Caribbean guests. It is an oasis, with white sand and translucent waters, geared specifically towards relaxation and fun for cruisers. The other stop on this short but sweet Caribbean cruise is Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas and often recognisable by the famous Atlantic Resort. It is a pretty and colourful city, with an interesting piratical past.
