Coral Shallows – Celebration Key & Nassau

About this cruise

5 nights from Port Canaveral, visiting Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. It sails October 23, 2027 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. People come back from this cruise talking about Half Moon Cay: A private crescent of Bahamian perfection. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Mardi Gras takes the food seriously, with 16 restaurants to choose from. 9 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 3 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
