About this site

Florida Cruise Schedule is an independent schedule of cruises departing Florida's 5 cruise ports — Miami, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Jacksonville. It lists 6407 sailings on 127 ships from 17 cruise lines, between October 2026 and October 2028.

It is a planning resource, not a booking engine. There is no cart, no login, no account and no newsletter. When you want to actually book, we send you to Cruisebound, who do sell cruises — see the affiliate disclosure for what we are paid and what it does not change.

Where the schedule comes from

Every sailing on this site comes from Cruisebound's product feed — the bookable inventory of an online cruise retailer, refreshed from their systems rather than assembled by us. That is a deliberate choice: it means the fare printed here is the fare you are shown when you click through, instead of a number we recorded by hand weeks ago and hoped was still right.

Which gives us, for each sailing:

1. The departure date, ship and cruise line, as the retailer holds them.
2. The itinerary name, as the line advertises it — the same wording you will see on the booking page.
3. The departure port, which is what the whole site is organised around.
4. A starting fare, for the lowest available cabin grade, carrying the date it was read.

Nothing is estimated, interpolated or filled in from memory. Where the feed does not carry a field, the page says so rather than guessing.

What we do not have

Being straight about the gaps matters more than looking complete. As of 2026-10-19:

Field	Coverage	What that means
Ports of call	365 of 6407	The feed does not carry stop lists. The 365 we do have are Port Tampa Bay sailings, from an earlier hand-researched dataset, matched on ship and departure date. For the other 6,042 we show the destination region and point you at the line's own day-by-day itinerary.
Length in nights	6089 of 6407	Read from the itinerary name, which nearly always states it. A few lines — Virgin in particular — name routes without a night count, and those sailings are listed without one rather than with a guessed one.
Starting fare	6407 of 6407	Every sailing carries one, with the date it was read.

We would rather show you a sailing with a missing field, clearly marked, than quietly drop it or invent the gap.

One caveat on ports of call: we record which ports a sailing visits, not the order it visits them in. The sequence is set by the line and occasionally changes; check the line's own day-by-day itinerary if the running order matters to you.

About the prices

Fares shown are starting rates per person for the lowest available cabin grade, on a double-occupancy basis. They are recorded manually and carry the date they were checked — you will see that date beside every price on the site.

They are not live quotes and they are not guaranteed. Cruise pricing moves daily. Treat the number as an indication of what a sailing costs relative to its neighbours, which is what it is genuinely good for, and get an actual quote from the line.

Where we have no recorded fare for a sailing, it shows "check prices" rather than a made-up number.

How often it is updated

Monthly. Each refresh re-checks one fare per ship and itinerary combination, appends newly published sailings at the far end of the window, and corrects anything that has changed or been cancelled. Past sailings drop off the site automatically at build time. The date of the last refresh is shown at the top of every listing page and in the footer.

Independence

This site is not affiliated with any Florida port authority, with any cruise line, or with any travel agency. Outbound links to cruise lines may be affiliate links — see the affiliate disclosure for what that means and how it affects what you see here (short version: it does not affect which sailings we list or how they are ordered).

Corrections

If a sailing here is wrong, we would rather know. Schedules change constantly and no manually compiled list stays perfect between refreshes.
