Fleur-de-Lis Tides – Bahamas & Key West

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from New Orleans on March 29, 2026 visits Key West, Celebration Key and Nassau. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Celebration Key alone is worth the trip, Carnival's newest private island escape. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Liberty keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in New Orleans before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
