Coral Thicket – Nassau & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Port Canaveral on April 17, 2028 for 5 nights visiting Celebration Key, Nassau and Half Moon Cay. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 16 restaurants on Carnival Mardi Gras, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 5-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
