Temptation Caribbean Cruise October 2027
The October 2027 sailing departs Miami on Saturday, October 16, 2027.
This five-night cruise includes two full days at sea, providing plenty of time for the pool parties, workshops, entertainment and late-night events that make Temptation different from a conventional Caribbean cruise.
The two port days take guests to Montego Bay in Jamaica and George Town in Grand Cayman before Norwegian Jewel returns to Miami on Thursday morning.
Itinéraire 2027
- Samedi, octobre 16: Depart Miami, Florida
- Dimanche octobre 17: En mer
- Lundi 18 octobre: Montego Bay, Jamaïque
- Mardi 19 octobre: George Town, Grand Caïman
- Mercredi octobre 20: En mer

Ports, times and the sailing itinerary can change. Check the final itinerary supplied with your booking before arranging flights, hotels or independent shore excursions.
Montego Bay, Jamaïque
Montego Bay is one of Jamaica’s best-known resort destinations, with beaches, watersports, shopping and a wide selection of organised excursions.
You can spend the day relaxing at a beach club, exploring farther afield or simply enjoying a change of scenery before returning to the party aboard Norwegian Jewel.
George Town, Grand Caïman
George Town is the gateway to Grand Cayman’s beaches, clear water and popular attractions such as Seven Mile Beach and Stingray City.
Some excursions require a tender between the ship and shore, so leave enough time to return to the ship before the published deadline.
Temptation Caribbean Cruise November 2028
The November 2028 Temptation Caribbean Cruise sails aboard Norwegian Jewel from November 13–18, 2028. This five-night round trip from Miami visits Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, with two full days at sea.
Guests must be aged 21 or over. The announced programme includes pool parties, theme nights, workshops and entertainment, alongside an Unlimited Open Bar beverage package and six included restaurants.
Itinéraire 2028
- Lundi 13 novembre : Depart Miami, Florida
- Mardi novembre 14: En mer
- Mercredi novembre 15: Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas
- Jeudi, novembre 16: Puerto Plata, République dominicaine
- 17 vendredi, Novembre: En mer
- Samedi novembre 18: Return to Miami, Florida
Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas
Great Stirrup Cay is a private Bahamian island, offering a beach day between the onboard parties. Its white sand and clear water make this a different kind of stop from the town-based ports on the 2027 route.
Puerto Plata, République dominicaine
Puerto Plata adds a Dominican Republic port day, with history, colourful streets and tropical scenery to explore. Choose how much time you want ashore before returning to Norwegian Jewel.
Ports and sailing schedules can change. Check the final itinerary and the inclusions for your chosen sailing before booking.
What Makes a Temptation Cruise Different?
A Temptation cruise is not simply a regular Norwegian cruise with a few adult events added to the schedule.
The onboard programme is designed around a lively, sexy and open-minded atmosphere. Expect daytime pool parties, DJs, hosted activities, provocative entertainment, theme nights and workshops alongside the normal facilities of a large cruise ship.
The crowd includes couples, singles, Temptation Resort regulars, lifestyle travellers and people simply looking for an adults-only party vacation.
You do not have to participate in every activity. Some guests throw themselves into everything, while others enjoy the atmosphere at their own pace.
La terrasse de la piscine
The Pool deck is the designated clothing-optional area. This does not mean that the entire ship is clothing optional.
Normal clothing is required in restaurants, indoor public areas and other parts of the ship. Always check the current cruise rules before sailing.
La salle de jeux
The cruise includes a private couples’ play space that is not part of the normal Temptation Resort experience.
It is entirely optional, and nobody should feel under pressure to visit or participate. Consent, respect, privacy and the published cruise rules apply at all times.
Pool Parties and Theme Nights
Pool parties are a major part of the daytime programme, while evenings feature themed parties, costumes, music and entertainment.
The complete 2027 theme schedule may change or be released closer to departure. Check the final programme before spending money on costumes.
Participation is optional, but dressing for the themes is one of the easiest ways to join in and meet people.
Workshops and Entertainment
The advertised programme includes workshops, hosted activities, contests, DJs and evening shows.
Exact performers, workshop presenters and daily schedules can change. Treat any early programme as provisional until the final onboard schedule is released.
Bijou de Norvège
Both the October 2027 and November 2028 cruises are scheduled aboard Norwegian Jewel.
The ship provides a much larger setting than Temptation Resort, with multiple restaurants, bars and lounges, a theatre, casino, spa, fitness centre, pools and hot tubs.
The larger ship allows for more guests and more venues, although it also means that the experience will not feel exactly like a stay at the Cancun resort. Cruise-line crew operate the ship, while Temptation supplies its own entertainment and adult programme.
Nourriture et boissons
The October 2027 booking information includes an Unlimited Open Bar beverage package in the cabin price. The November 2028 announcement also includes an Unlimited Open Bar package and six restaurants.
Selected main dining rooms and casual venues are included. Specialty restaurants, premium menu items, Starbucks and room service may cost extra. The November 2028 booking terms list room service as an extra; check the written inclusions for your chosen sailing.
Package limits and exclusions can change, so check the live booking terms rather than relying on an old list of included drinks or restaurants.
Cabins and Prices
Norwegian Jewel offers accommodation ranging from interior and ocean-view staterooms to balcony cabins, penthouses and The Haven suites.
The more expensive Haven categories include additional space and premium services, but guests primarily interested in the parties may find that a standard cabin offers everything they need.
Rates are normally quoted per cabin based on occupancy. Mandatory per-person surcharges cover port charges, taxes, document fees, prepaid gratuities, administration and security fees, so compare the complete booking total rather than the base cabin figure.
Cabin prices and availability can change at any time. Use the booking link for your chosen sailing to see the current total before paying a deposit.
What I Think About the 2027 Cruise
The 2027 route looks well balanced for this kind of cruise. Two sea days provide enough time to enjoy the onboard programme, while Jamaica and Grand Cayman offer two very different port days.
Norwegian Jewel is a good size for a full-ship party. There is enough room for different events and entertainment without the cruise feeling so enormous that you never see the same people twice.
For Temptation regulars, the biggest adjustment will probably be the scale of the ship and the smaller cabins. Some staff associated with Temptation Resort will be aboard, but not the whole Temptation team will be there and not every face will be familiar. Norwegian Cruise Line staff will still operate the ship.
The cruise will cost more than an ordinary short Caribbean sailing, but an ordinary cruise does not include the Temptation programme or the same open-minded social atmosphere.
October is still within the Caribbean hurricane season, and hot weather does not guarantee perfect weather. Travel insurance and sensible flight arrangements are important.
