Guy's Burgers. When we had them the first trip on the Breeze you would get no more than 5, not that you go for the fries, but on the Sunshine and second Breeze trip they put more than enough fries on the plate. I had the plain jane with sautéed onions, mushrooms and bacon.

I went to lots of trivia, but I got all 20 out of 20 questions for 80s music and won a ship on a stick. Its my one and only one.

We had reservations for the Italian restaurant, my husband didn't feel like it, but I went. To me the $12 makes the Italian restaurants one of the best deals on the ship. Everything was great.

Being on my own, I listened to a lot of live music and spent a good deal of time in the casino, I had gotten a free drinks card today.

 

End of day 6.

Alrichards,

 

First of all, I am so sorry that you had all those horrible things happen to you and especially while on vacation. What a mess that must have been. For you to even think about sharing all this with us is remarkable in itstelf. I am so glad that you did share as I am scheduled to go on Sunshine in May and have been concerned by some of the reviews. I am a fan of the small ships. Love the itimacy and friendliness of crew and passengers. Your review has really helped to build the excitement that I have been missing prior to a cruise. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to sailing off into the "Sunshine". Enjoy your cruise on the Pride. I'll be interested in seeing your review on that ship, as well.

Thank you so much. I'm sure you will enjoy your cruise in May, there are so many things to enjoy on the Sunshine, plus Port Canaveral is nice to sail from. I'm not crazy about Miami.

Oh no. The last day. I always try to fit as much in as possible. No wonder I come home from vacation tired.

Casino time and then lunch before Seaday brunch was over. Popovers.

i had ordered the ceaser salad with bacon and mac and cheese with chicken, they brought both with chicken. One morning when I had breakfast, someone next to us ordered the ceasar salad with bacon and it looked amazing.

Spent the rest day with trivia, casino and listening to music and then packing. We had reservations at the steakhouse, DH wasn't feeling great but thought eating something besides soup would help.

I love the piano bar, but never made it until tonight, unlike on some other ships, it is an enclosed area and I think people don't walk by and stop like they do with some other open piano bars

Nice review on the Sunshine! The ship looks very nice compared to Breeze and Dream, the only 2 Carnival ships I've been on.

 

Was the steakhouse worth it? I loved the one on Dream but wasn't as impressed by the one on Breeze.

Thank you, its great to hear people enjoyed the pictures, I know some people are camera aficionados, not me, I like my ipad for several reasons, but it has several function for one item, music, pictures, camera, internet and alarm clock.

I have been on both the Breeze and the Dream, we had a lot of rude people on the Dream, so that may explain why I did not care for that ship, but no Guys Burgers did not help either. I had been on some smaller ships before without 2.0 upgrades, but I like the upgrades so much that I don't want to sail without them.

 

We usually eat at the steakhouse the last night of the cruise, I have not noticed a difference in the steakhouses on different ships, but am probably just very focused on the escargot and surf and turf. :confused: I love them all.
