Sunlit Slant – Celebration Key & Half Moon Cay

About this cruise

5 nights, 3 ports, one very easy decision. This one heads out of Port Canaveral on February 26, 2028 and visits Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Celebration Key. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 16 restaurants on Carnival Mardi Gras, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 5 nights. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
