Bahamas Escape – Grand Bahama & Eleuthera

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Jacksonville on April 4, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Celebration Key and Princess Cays. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Elation. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
