Azure Vault – Celebration Key & Grand Bahama

About this cruise

5 nights, 3 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Port Canaveral on July 3, 2027 and visits Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Carnival Mardi Gras takes the food seriously, with 16 restaurants to choose from. 9 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Port Canaveral has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Port Canaveral and come back with stories from Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key.
