Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

By October 31, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Norfolk, visiting Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove), and nothing on the agenda except showing up. 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. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
