Carnival Cruise to the Southern Caribbean

This 14-day cruise is a round-trip from Baltimore to the exotic islands of the Southern Caribbean. The voyage is on one of the "fun ships" of Carnival Cruise Line.

You'll spend two days at sea in route to the Caribbean. The first stop is Grand Turk Island in the Turks & Caicos, where you'll spend day 4 of the cruise.
