Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

You sail from Norfolk on December 18, 2026 and spend 8 nights visiting Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove). It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. 3 countries (Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Carnival Sunshine. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
