Bahamas Escape – Grand Bahama & Eleuthera

About this cruise

5 nights from Jacksonville, visiting Celebration Key and Princess Cays. It sails November 8, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 2 port calls clustered in the middle. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Don't rush through Princess Cays, which is known as A private slice of Eleuthera's beauty. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Elation. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 2 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
