Caribbean Escape – Princess Cays & Grand Turk

About this cruise

There's a reason 8-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Norfolk on March 21, 2026 and visits Princess Cays, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. 3 countries (Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Carnival Sunshine. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
