Island Serenity – Key West & Nassau

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Galveston on May 16, 2026 visits Key West, Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Galveston, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Keep an eye out for Key West: America's southernmost slice of paradise. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Dream takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 7 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. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 8 nights well spent.
