Tropical Escape – Key West & Bahamas

About this cruise

This one leaves Tampa on May 1, 2026 and spends 6 nights visiting Key West, Celebration Key and Nassau at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Paradise has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
