Bahamas Escape – Princess Cays & Nassau

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Baltimore on May 24, 2026, visiting Princess Cays, Nassau and Celebration Key. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. 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, There are 8 restaurants on Carnival Pride, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
