Everybody knows where a Southern Caribbean cruise starts. San Juan. Maybe Florida. You fly to the ship, then the ship takes you the rest of the way down the island chain.
This one starts in Galveston.
Carnival Horizon, on a Carnival Journeys sailing, runs 14 nights round trip out of Galveston and still gets all the way down to Grenada. No flying to the port first. You park in Galveston, you sail, and two weeks later you sail home to the same parking lot.
THE ROUTE, AND THE HONEST RHYTHM OF IT
Three sea days going out. That is the trade for starting in Texas instead of San Juan, and it is worth knowing up front. Then the ports stack up fast: five ports in five days. Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, and Grenada, back to back to back. Two sea days to catch your breath. Montego Bay on the way home. Then two slow days rolling back into Galveston.
Fourteen nights, six ports, seven sea days. It is front-loaded with ocean and heavy in the middle with islands, which is exactly how a long sailing ought to feel.
THE FARES, TOTAL FOR TWO
Interior: $2,642. Ocean View: $3,782. Balcony (Cove): $5,142. Suite (Junior): $9,654.
Those are totals for TWO people, taxes and fees already in, at the lowest rate in each category. The interior works out to about $94 per person per night for a 14-night sailing that reaches Grenada.
THE HONEST PART, BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT
Those lowest fares are non-refundable deposit fares. That is the price of the lowest number, and it means your deposit is Carnival’s if you bail. Book it because you mean it.
And yes, this is January and February of 2029. That is far out, on purpose. This is a plan-ahead sailing, the kind you put on the calendar and build the year around, not a last-minute deal you grab on a Friday. The upside of booking a Journeys sailing this early is the pick of the ship. The upside of the price is you have a long runway to pay it down.
