Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

8 nights, 3 ports, all from Norfolk on February 6, 2027. The route visits Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk Island and Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and the whole thing just flows. 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. The Caribbean route takes in Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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 keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
