5 Night Bahamas Cruise aboard the Carnival Elation

Share

Settle in for five nights of leisurely cruising around the Caribbean when you set sail with the Carnival Elation from Jacksonville and back.

This sailing is particularly interesting because you will exclusively call on unusual stops like Celebration Key and Half Moon Cay. This is a typical route for the Elation.

This is the total you pay for a balcony cabin, no surprises at checkout. With a cost of less than $145 per day for a balcony cabin, this represents a great deal.
