Golden Sands Journey – Bahamas & Turks

About this cruise

You board in Galveston on January 31, 2028 for 10 nights visiting Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 4 port calls start. It's a proper Bahamas tour: 3 countries, from Bahamas to Dominican Republic. Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) stands out. It's Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. All in all, it's a solid trip.
