Meridian Drift – Half Moon Cay & Bahamas
About this cruise
You sail from Baltimore on October 25, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Pride has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
