5 Night Bahamas Cruise aboard the Carnival Mardi Gras

Share

Prepare yourself for five nights of tropical travel around the Caribbean when you book your cabin on the Carnival Mardi Gras from Port Canaveral and back.

This trip is particularly exciting because you'll exclusively experience less common ports such as Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau. This is a typical route for the Mardi Gras.

We include all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes in the price, so that you can compare cruises easily. Offered at under $80 per day, this is an amazing bargain.
