Select itineraries will visit destinations such as Belize, Mahogany Bay and Montego Bay, with options to explore Costa Rica and Colon, Panama, where shore excursions to the Panama Canal are available.
Meanwhile, in Jacksonville, the Carnival Elation will continue year-round service with a range of Bahamas cruises. Guests can choose from four- and five-day itineraries departing on Thursdays and Saturdays.
