Shimmering Exuma – Half Moon Cay & Nassau

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Baltimore on September 6, 2026 and visits Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. When you're not ashore, There are 8 restaurants on Carnival Pride, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
