The long weekend is just a few days away, and while your itch to skip out of town is probably growing, your time to plan is winding down. A vacation to the sun-soaked beaches of Cozumel or the private island of CocoCay might just be exactly what you need.
Make your quick getaway to these destinations this weekend.
Visiting a private island doesn’t have to take weeks — this quick trip on Enchantment of the Seas lets you spend a day in Nassau; and then visit Royal Caribbean’s own private island, CocoCay, for a day of sunbathing on white-sand beaches.
Pro tip: get there early to snag a private beachside cabana.
Is a quick escape just not in the cards for this month? Try this quickie cruise that leaves in November on Allure of the Seas. Depart Florida in the evening and wake up in beautiful Nassau in The Bahamas. Spend the day frolicking in the crystal-clear blue waters, visit the Nassau Pirates Museum, snorkel with sharks or visit Paradise Island, home of amazing resorts and nearly unlimited activities. While the ship heads back to Florida catch a Broadway show, dance the night away or take a moonlight stroll through Central Park.
Plan a quick escape to the Caribbean, Bahamas, or Mexico and turn your weekend into a mini vacation.
