Just home from 8-day Carnival Sunshine - any questions?

Aruba, Curacao and Grand Turk with 3 kiddos aged 5, 8, and 14. I didn't bring back fun times, but I can answer questions if you have them!

Excursions: Jolly Pirates in Aruba, Jet Skis in Curacao, Semi-submersible in Curacao and SNUBA in Grand Turk.

Ask away!

I am thinking about this exact cruise for April 2019 except Amber Cove instead of Grand Turk did you feel like 4 sea days was too many? The most I have had in one cruise is 3 days.

We always found stuff to do on sea Days. Between waterworks, the sky course, trivia, camp ocean and the casino, we we're never bored!

What did you do in each port? Sailing this route in 19 days in the Vista~ yipppeee!!!

Happy sailing!

Do you remember what time the casino opens on sea days?

Every ship I've been on, the casino opens at 7 am on Sea days. My favorite time to go, I can play the games I can't get to in the evening because they're so crowded. And yes, they're less smoked!

Thank you. My husband and I like going early to the casino it is definitely less crowded!

We will be on the Sunshine in 39 days! We are doing the Eastern itinerary. My 8 year old really wants to SNUBA. We are considering it in either St. Maarten or Grand Turk. What did you think of the excursion in Grand Turk? Anything that's a must do for an 8 year old on the ship?

How was the Jolly Rogers tour with kids? We are doing this same cruise and considering this excursion, but I'm a little nervous to take my 3 year old.

Thanks!

Is there a steam room and sauna on board that you do not have to pay extra for ?

does the Sunshine still float, It was pretty bad in Jan

What days are the Elegant nights? Saturday and Thursday?

Bad in what way?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Bad in that rust was visible in numerous areas , floors were continuously wet in several areas on the 7th floor, meaning fans were out in the halls (and in my room for 5 days because of a shower problem leaking into the room),restrooms in common areas were often dirty or closed.

Am not complaining about the cruise itself, the itinery was great and crew was good as well. The boat itself was the problem in that it has declined, i have been on it three times in the last two years. Not again on the Sunshine

Was there a band? If so, were they any good? What kind of music did they play?

Thanks,

Missy
