Sun-Soaked Adventure – Grand Bahama & Bimini

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Norfolk on July 18, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Bimini and Celebration Key. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. The Bahamas are close enough for a quick trip and warm enough that it always feels worth it. 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, Carnival Sunshine takes the food seriously, with 15 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Norfolk has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
