Hasty Harbor – Nassau & New Providence

About this cruise

You leave Jacksonville on May 7, 2026 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Celebration Key and Nassau. It splits nicely: 2 days seeing places and 1 days doing nothing at all. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. When you're not ashore, Carnival Elation keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you're new to cruising, this length is ideal. Long enough to relax, short enough to not over-commit. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
