Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night round-trip sailing from Norfolk on December 19, 2027 visits Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Crossing 3 borders through the Caribbean: Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Freedom takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
