CruiserBruce Posted September 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) There are literally dozens of cruise routes and options out there- far too many for us to list here. I would suggest going to the Carnival website and look at their schedules. If nothing suits you, try another cruise line, like Princess or Royal Caribbean.

travlnblueberries Posted September 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2014 As someone posted there are so many. You can start by looking for cruises that go out of San Juan, they are usually port intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethco Posted September 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Five ports in seven days is not the norm. Cruises leaving from the US Mainland usually have a 3 and at most 4 ports for a seven night itinerary. Most cruises to the Eastern Caribbean hit St Maarten, while most Western Caribbean will go to Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted September 2, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Maasdam, Canada/New England, Boston to Montreal or the return Montreal to Boston, has six ports in seven days. It's a fabulous cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted September 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2014 There are other Southern Caribbean cruises which leave from San Juan and go to Aruba and Curacao, or to Martinique and Grenada. These are usually 4 ports in 7 days, but they do hit islands that are not on typical itineraries. As someone else mentioned, New England/Canada cruises from NY or Boston usually have 5 ports on a 7 day itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The 5 port itineraries are slowly disappearing due to cruise lines moving at a slower speed to conserve fuel. Hope you find something you will like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted September 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) The 5 port itineraries are slowly disappearing due to cruise lines moving at a slower speed to conserve fuel. Hope you find something you will like. Can you provide examples? RCI, for instance, continues to offer 5-port of call Southern Caribbean itineraries from San Juan all year round and during the winter season offers them on two ships. I think the ability to offer a larger number of ports of call on a given itinerary is more regional and based on logistics of the islands and departure ports. The Southern Caribbean routes are able to provide this better from Puerto Rico than the Eastern or Western routes from FL, for instance, due to the closer proximity of the islands. I also think it is a factor of where certain cruise lines focus their itineraries. The Mediterranean also offers more opportunity for multiple port of call itineraries.
