5 Night Cruise sailing from Charleston roundtrip aboard Carnival Ecstasy.

Carnival Ecstasy has the experience under her belt to ensure that you have an amazing cruise. (And at over 850 feet long, that would be some belt!) That’s not all she has, either. For starters, the bright lights of the grand atrium will remind you of the big city… and that you’re not on just any ship.

You’re on a ship that features great fun for the kids with our range of supervised youth activities for cruisers 2–17… including the all-new Seuss at Sea. You’re on a ship with plenty for the adults to do — sit back and chill at the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat and our rather relaxing spa, or sip back something chilled at RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar.

But let’s not forget that, most of all, you’re on a ship that everyone can enjoy! There’s Carnival WaterWorks for those who’ve just gotta make a splash, Punchliner Comedy Club for the not-so-easily-amused, Playlist Productions for those who appreciate a good song-and-dance, and Hasbro, The Game Show for those who take their fierce competition with a soft side of fun.

So — young or old — there’s reason for anyone to get excited about a cruise aboard Carnival Ecstasy.

Highlights of this itinerary:

Charleston, SC
Give in to the genteel feel of the old South on Carnival cruises from Charleston, South Carolina. This is a gracious city of antebellum homes and sprawling plantations, best appreciated from the comfort of a horse-drawn carriage. The city’s unique Low country cuisine and dozens of delicious restaurants make it a southern foodie destination. Enjoy warm southern hospitality as you prepare to depart on your cruise from Charleston. Set foot where English settlers first touched land.

Tuck into Low country-style shrimp and grits at a downtown restaurant. Hop on a horse-drawn carriage for a slow-paced tour of the Historic District.

Nassau
It's easy to see why Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is also one of the most popular ports in the Caribbean: picture an idyllic place with stretches of perfect white-sand beaches, gracefully swaying coconut palms offering oases of shade, and warm, crystal-clear waters revealing the secrets of incredible multi-colored marine life. Whether you spend the day shopping for duty-free gifts and mementos, taking a carriage ride past sorbet-colored buildings, or touring in a glass-bottom boat, chances are you'll leave this happy place in the Bahamas with lots of beautiful memories.

Freeport, The Bahamas
The action is sizzling in Freeport, the resort center of Grand Bahama Island. You’ll find plenty of razzle-dazzle entertainment, from a casino to music clubs to barefoot beach bars.
