Two Carnival Ships Shift Florida Ports

After a three-year absence, Carnival Elation is back in Jacksonville. The ship left JAXPORT for Port Canaveral in May 2019, and restarted sailings after the industry shutdown there.

From Jacksonville, the ship will operate four and five-night cruises — mostly to the Bahamas.

And Carnival Freedom moved from Miami to Port Canaveral, replacing Carnival Elation there. From Canaveral, Freedom will operate four and five-night Bahamas and eastern Caribbean voyages.
