Starboard Side – Puerto Plata & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

5 nights from Port Canaveral, visiting Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key. It sails May 9, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. White sand, shallow turquoise flats, and easy island days. The Bahamas keep it simple. Keep an eye out for Half Moon Cay: A private crescent of Bahamian perfection. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Freedom. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 5 nights well spent.
