CARNIVAL SUNSHINE
Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun. There's plenty to find atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun. Visit the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival WaterWorks™, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide. There's also SportSquare™, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse the Ropes Course high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.
When you're on your Carnival Sunshine cruise, step out of the sun and try out some shade (and it's some pretty cool shade, at that). The first thing you'll see is the Sunshine Atrium... and let's just say first impressions count. From there, check out dining options — this ship has everything under the Carnival sun — like Guy's Burger Joint™, BlueIguana Cantina™, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and JiJi Asian Kitchen®. Some of the greatest Carnival bars are here: RedFrog Pub®, BlueIguana Tequila Bar™, SkyBox™ Sports Bar and Alchemy Bar®... plus the already-classic Havana Bar™! You'll enjoy musical revues from Playlist Productions™, where songs you know and love come to life on stage.
When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine, fun at sea is guaranteed.

Day 4: Half Moon Cay
This one’s a private island, and — smile! — you’re absolutely welcome here. Grab a Carnival cruise to Half Moon Cay and from your first toe in the sand you’ll understand why it’s anything but a typical destination. All the features and excitement aboard your Carnival cruise pause for a bit, opening up your vacation with a unique island experience.
Cozy up and lounge with your personal someone-special in a clam-shell, a shady hideaway for two. Plus, if you’re looking for more private stretch-out space there are cabanas and villas to rent. And who can resist the siren’s call of an expert massage by the beach? You know, relaxing is encouraged at Half Moon Cay... but against this pristine backdrop there’s still so much to do! Play in turquoise seas, ride horseback on powdery white sand, or gently paddle a kayak through acres of protected lagoon, encountering silky-smooth stingrays and so much more.
This island is a little off the typical cruise path but isn’t a complete mystery — after all, Half Moon Cay was named Best Private Island by Porthole Cruise Magazine for 20 straight years!
-
Smile, splash and survey the island’s incredible scenery from atop horseback. -
Compare swim strokes with the island’s gentle stingrays. -
Get hammocking early — they’re first come, first sway, first smile.
-
Share a smile — and snap a selfie — with Ted, Half Moon Cay’s resident donkey.
Day 5: Grand Turk
- Swim in the sparkling turquoise seas off Governor’s Beach.
- Tour historic Cockburn Town and the old salt pans.
- Shop for duty-free jewelry and local crafts in the colorful Grand Turk Cruise Center.
- Feel the velvety touch of a stingray’s wings in Gibbs Cay.
Day 6: Amber Cove
Discovering new sights is one of the beauties of travel, and that couldn't be more true when it comes to Amber Cove®, Dominican Republic. In this world full of information on just about everything, Amber Cove is a throwback — it’s the kind of quiet little spot you won’t find on most maps. But you will find it — brimming with bars and pools, plus opportunities for lounging and shopping — to be the gateway to island paradise, Dominican-style. Beyond Amber Cove is Puerto Plata, a town that began life as the first European settlement in the Americas. Its founder? Oh, just a guy named Christopher Columbus… so you know that arriving by sea is the ultimate way to get here. Whether you're looking for a day at the beach, some Dominican Republic adventure or just a little poolside me-time, Amber Cove is just the ticket.
- Explore Fort San Felipe, originally built to ward off pirates, which today welcomes curious travelers of all kinds.
- This spot is known for its remarkable local amber — actually the clearest you’ll find anywhere in the world.
- Take a ride on the wild side on an amazing ATV Adventure tour through the undiscovered Dominican Republic backcountry!
- Swim with dolphins, stingrays — and yes, even sharks! — at Ocean World.
Day 7 & 8: Fun day at Sea
Day 9: Norfolk
If you live in the Mid-Atlantic area, might we suggest one of our cruises from Norfolk? Set sail, as thousands of seafaring Americans have, when you book a Carnival cruise from the 400-year-old seaport of Norfolk. The city is today the proud home of a sparkling waterfront filled with green parks, lively shopping malls, delicious restaurants… and even fascinating maritime museums and monuments. Before you cruise from Norfolk, you’ll find yourself near two colonial villages — Colonial Williamsburg and Olde Towne Portsmouth — plus miles of beaches, and a blooming botanical garden. So definitely make time to explore before your cruise from Virginia, and round out your vacation with some history and picturesque sightseeing. Cruises from Norfolk also come with serious seafaring credentials — the city is home to one of the best maritime academies in the country.
- Watch artisans blow glass at the Chrysler Museum of Art.
- Take a ferry to colonial Olde Towne Portsmouth village.
- Tour the Norfolk waterfront by boat from the NAUTICUS museum.
- Search for antique jewelry and furniture in the Ghent neighborhood.
Cancellation policy: In life, you never really know what may happen… but you can rely on the Vacation Protection trip cancellation. $ If you need to cancel for some of the most common reasons (severe weather, illness, etc.) you'll get 100% of the cost of your trip back, in cash. If you need to cancel for any reason not listed in the plan — any reason at all — you'll get 75% back in a Future Cruise Credit Certificate.
