Buckle up for big adventure on the Space Coast when you book a Carnival cruise from Port Canaveral, Florida. Fun in the sun is a mission easily accomplished in Port Canaveral: before or after your cruise, take time to blast off from the Kennedy Space Center, hug the turns in a stock car at the world famous speedway, and zoom through the screaming roller coasters of Orlando's theme parks.

Discover Celebration Key Carnival’s Exclusive Island Escape

🌞 RelaxAway at Half Moon Cay: Your Beach Day, Upgraded

We were all set for Princess Cays, but Carnival pulled a switcheroo—and honestly? We’re not mad about it. Half Moon Cay is getting a glow-up, and by the time we arrive in January 2026, it’ll be serving up serious chill vibes with a side of adventure.

🔥 BBQ + Beach = Bliss
The smell of grilled goodness hits you the second you step off the tender. Think jerk chicken, island rice, and maybe a lobster roll if you’re lucky. Grab a plate, find a shady spot, and let the beachy feast begin.

🌴 Find Your Happy Place
Whether it’s a hammock under the palms, a lounger by the water, or a private cabana with AC (yes, really), this island is all about kicking back. Want quiet? There’s space for that. Want music and laughter? You’ll find that too.

🌊 Splash, Ride, Repeat
Snorkel with the fishies, kayak through clear blue water, or ride a horse along the beach like you’re in a movie. Not into getting wet? Try the glass-bottom boat or hop on a bike and explore.

🏡 VIP Vibes (If You Want ‘Em)
Feeling fancy? You can upgrade to a beach villa or cabana with ocean views, comfy furniture, and your own little slice of paradise. It’s like HGTV meets the Bahamas.

🛍️ Shop the Shore
Local crafts, beachy souvenirs, and maybe a shell necklace or two—Half Moon’s got a few shops worth browsing before you head back to the ship.

So yeah, the port changed. But the magic didn’t. Half Moon Cay is ready to help you relax your way—whether that’s toes in the sand, drink in hand, or adventure on the horizon.

Welcome Home

If you’re looking for a cozy, budget-friendly retreat, the interior stateroom on Carnival Freedom is perfect. These rooms are designed for comfort and simplicity, offering everything you need for a restful stay while letting you spend more of your budget on adventures and activities. While there’s no window, the warm lighting and cozy design make it feel inviting and relaxing. It’s an ideal choice if you’re the type of traveler who plans to spend most of your time enjoying the ship’s amenities and excursions rather than in your room. Plus, it’s nice and dark for those long, uninterrupted nights of sleep!

An ocean view stateroom is the sweet spot if you want a bit more connection to the sea without breaking the bank. You’ll wake up to natural light streaming through a large window and enjoy views of the ocean or port. It’s a fantastic choice for families or couples who want a touch of luxury but still keep things practical. These rooms give you just enough extra space to feel comfortable while offering a daily reminder of the breathtaking destinations you’re visiting. It’s the perfect way to bring a bit of the outside world into your cruise experience.

Any time you’re in your room, you’re just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis. A balcony stateroom on Carnival Freedom is designed to bring the magic of the sea right to you, offering maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views. Picture yourself starting your day with coffee in hand, watching the sun dance on the waves, or ending the evening under a canopy of stars with the gentle sound of the ocean as your soundtrack. With extra space to stretch out and a private balcony to call your own, this stateroom is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of indulgence to their cruise. It’s more than a room—it’s your front-row seat to unforgettable moments at sea.
