Ocean Oasis – Key West & Nassau

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 8-night sailing from Galveston on April 18, 2026 visits Key West, Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay 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 stands out. It's Carnival's newest private island escape. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
