Tropical Escape – Half Moon Cay & Grand Turk

About this cruise

By March 20, 2027 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. The route threads through 3 countries along the Caribbean coast: Bahamas, Turks & Caicos Islands and Dominican Republic. 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, There are 15 restaurants on Carnival Sunshine, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 8 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
