đź‘‘ Celebrate Juneteenth at Sea!
This isn't just another cruise—it's an annual Love Dipaways tradition.
My Annual Juneteenth Royalty at Sea Experience is a celebration of freedom, culture, history, community, and Black excellence—with a whole lot of vacation energy mixed in! ✊🏾👑🚢
For Juneteenth Royalty at Sea II, we're coming together aboard Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas for a 3-night getaway to Bimini, Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Each year, this experience gives us an opportunity to honor those who came before us, celebrate how far we've come, educate and inspire the next generation, build community, and create unforgettable memories together.
And YES—we're going to have a GOOD time while doing it! 🔥
Whether you're traveling with your family, partner, friends, sorority sisters, organization, or coming solo, you're invited to be part of the experience.

Travel protection is strongly recommended.
You may have the option to purchase Royal Caribbean's travel protection or request a quote for a third-party travel insurance policy.
Depending on the third-party policy selected, coverage may include eligible prepaid travel expenses such as your cruise, hotel, excursions, and other covered components of your trip.
Certain policies may offer Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) benefits when purchased within the required eligibility period following your initial trip payment. Coverage, eligibility, exclusions, reimbursement percentages, and deadlines vary by policy.
Travel insurance premiums are due at the time of purchase.
If you choose to decline travel protection, you acknowledge that you may be financially responsible for losses resulting from cancellations, interruptions, medical expenses, or other unforeseen circumstances that are not otherwise refundable.
Guests declining coverage will be required to complete a Travel Protection Waiver acknowledging their decision to decline coverage.

Because our history deserves more than acknowledgment—it deserves to be celebrated, remembered, taught, and passed forward.
This annual experience is about bringing generations together to celebrate our freedom, honor our history, strengthen our community, and enjoy the freedom to travel, laugh, connect, celebrate, and LIVE.
Come for the destinations.
Come for the culture.
Come for the celebration.

A cruise out of the Fort Lauderdale cruise port is one of the most popular ways to experience the best of the Caribbean, but this coastal South Florida city is a worthy destination in and of itself. Port Everglades is the main cruise port near Fort Lauderdale, but just a few miles away you’ll find beautiful white-sand beaches, a lively food and shopping scene, and cerulean blue waterways dotted with impressive yachts and sailboats. Want to discover the best of Fort Lauderdale like a local? Go for an early-morning stroll along the Fort Lauderdale Beach promenade and watch the sun rise over the water. Then grab breakfast beachside at one of the many open-air cafes that line the waterfront. If you’re looking for a wilder way to spend the day, set out on an eco-kayak tour through mangrove forests, calm bays, and emerald-green inlets — Fort Lauderdale is home to more than 300 miles of waterways, which has earned it the nickname, “Venice of America.”
Your ship departs promptly at 4:00 pm, so plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your vacation early.
Dangling on the western edges of The Bahamas' Out Islands, Bimini was once an escape route for Prohibition-era rumrunners— and today it’s a small-island paradise for sun-seekers and anglers. For such a tiny isle, Bimini certainly packs a huge adventure punch. The capital of Alice Town buzzes with a low-key vibe, while miles of sugary sands lead to scuba diving and snorkeling in bright-blue waters filled with sunken shipwrecks. Legend has it Bimini Road was once part of the Lost City of Atlantis, and several ghosts haunt Great Isaac Lighthouse. Here you can go sailing, Bimini Museum browsing or Bimini Nature Trail hiking— all amid the salty Bahamian air.
This isn’t vacation days spent. This is bragging rights earned. Conquer the tallest waterslide in the Caribbean and snap a shot from up to 450 feet up in a helium balloon. Grab a drink at the swim-up bar and soak up the scene in the largest freshwater pool in The Bahamas. Or get a taste of Bora Bora with your own Overwater Cabana.
Perfect Day CocoCay is split into 10 unique neighborhoods, each with its own activities. There are plenty of free things to do around the island, as well as premium experiences available for purchase. Seven of the neighborhoods are free admission, and three require a paid admission: Thrill Waterpark, Coco Beach Club, and Hideaway Beach (adults-only beach).
