When is the best time to Sail to the Bahamas on Carnival?

Carnival's Bahamas cruises are popular from early winter to springtime. Take a short 7-day cruise for a quick vacation getaway. More extensive cruises (up to 35 days!) make for ideal respites to refresh, relax and rejuvenate.
From a weather perspective, the best time to sail to the Bahamas is from late-November to late-April. From May until late October, the weather tends to be hot and humid.
From a price perspective, when kids are out of school is when the prices tend to be highest. There are usually bargains to be found as the Bahamas is a very competitive market with
Holland America Line, NCL,
Royal Caribbean and
Celebrity Cruises all in competition with one another.
What Discounts are Available on Carnival Cruises to the Bahamas?
Carnival offers the following discounts on cruises to the Bahamas:
- The most commonly available Carnival Bahamas cruise discounts are targeted based on where you live. Cruise pricing can vary depending on your place of residence. For example, a resident of California may get a higher price than a resident of Texas. This system of discounts is extremely complex, and it is very difficult to project when, how much or for how long such targeted discount programs may be offered.
- Military Discounts for U.S. Military and Canadian Forces -- Active and Retired. On selected Carnival Bahamas cruises, there may be discounts available to members of the military. Please note that these discounts are on selected sailings only.
- U.S. or Canadian Law Enforcement, Fire Dept, or EMT personnel. On selected sailings, Carnival may offer discounts to law enforcement personnel, fire department and EMT personnel. Please note that these discounts are on selected sailings only.
- Age 55+ may be offered discounts on selected Carnival Bahamas sailings. Like discounts based on where you live, it is not possible to determine when these discounts will be offered.
- Carnival Cruises may offer special incentives to their past passengers. Carnival's Past Guest Recognition Program has three levels: Gold Member, Platinum Member, and Platinum Member - Milestone.
The best way to find out what discounts are offered is to search for
Carnival Bahamas cruises online - when you select a specific sailing, we will ask the questions about where you live and whether you qualify for past passenger or military / police-fire-EMT pricing. Remember, these special discounts are only offered on select cruises (cruises that may have a lot of unsold cabins) - don't be surprised if the discounts are NOT offered during high-season cruises, or for cruises on newer ships.
