Glassy Inlet – Grand Bahama & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

5 nights, 2 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Jacksonville on July 10, 2027 and visits Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. Sea days bookend the port visits. You settle in, see the ports, then have time to wind down before heading home. 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, You won't go hungry on Carnival Elation. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
