Carnival Fascination sails from Jacksonville in the afternoon and arrives in Freeport the next day. Here you will have seven hours to explore the port and all it has to offer. For those who are adventurous, try a kayaking tour through the mangroves in Lucayan National Park. If something a bit more relaxing is what you had in mind, spend the day playing at the beach and wandering through the shops. Sail overnight from Freeport to Nassau. There you can take a powerboat ride, laze on beautiful beaches or discover the history of pirates. The last day of your cruise is spent at sea returning to Jacksonville.
With a Carnival five-day cruise from Jacksonville, you will spend the first night and day at sea enjoying all the amenities on the ship. Relax in a 12,000 square foot spa or indulge in sweets from the patisserie. The first stop will find you in Key West, Florida. Here you can explore the myriad of shops, go fishing for tarpon or take a dive to the barrier reef. You head next for Nassau, and get to spend a full day there discovering one of the most popular destinations in the Bahamas. On the trip home, while at sea, you can take advantage of mini golf, or the pools before docking in Jacksonville the next morning.
By expanding your cruise to a week, you get to see more ports of call in the Bahamas. After a night and day at sea, you'll dock in Nassau, where you will have the day to relax and explore. Next stop is Half Moon Cay, a private island in the Bahamas. Enjoy all kinds of water sports at the island or have a beach-side massage before reboarding to sail for Grand Turk, the largest island of the Turks Islands. The last two relaxing days are spent at sea before arriving back at Jacksonville.
