Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 8-night sailing from Norfolk on May 30, 2026 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. It's a proper Caribbean tour: 3 countries, from Bahamas to Dominican Republic. Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) alone is worth the trip, Dominican amber and Atlantic waves. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Carnival Sunshine has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
