Sunshine is back in Charleston!!!

[emoorehead]

The Carnival Sunshine sailed back into the port of Charleston early this morning! It was very exciting to see her back after so long. She looks great with her new livery.

I can't wait to see the inside since her trip to dry dock. My family will be sailing out of Charleston on Jan 31.

Wonderful!!

We are doing our first B2B on her next month!

She looks great with the new paint scheme!

It's just a three hour drive for us to Charleston so we will head down early Thursday morning.  Last night Carnival called and made us an offer we couldn't refuse and we are now in a Cloud 9 Spa Suite!  Got our negative tests results today, yay, and I've packed my bag.  I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready,,,,😎

Yes, Carnival ships are looking very nice these days - distinctive!

The only two shot of Sunshine I have are these.

 

Somebody.. please take BOW-pics and post them here.

We are boarding her 2nd week of March, very excited!  One of our favorite ships and ports to sail out of (we love Charleston).  Looking forward to the reviews and pix from those cruising before March.  Have a blast!

We (hopefully) board her Monday for the 10 day! Covid test Sat & possible snow storm in our travel path has my anxiety sky high.

 

We sailed the MG in September, but the lead up to this one is waaayyy more stressful.

Boarding on Thursday for my 50th Birthday celebration in the Captain's Suite!!!  Sailing with a total of 10 family/friends.  Working our way through our Covid tests...3 down 7 to go tomorrow. Super excited!!

With all the cancellations i guess so. I got one too turned it down and then cancelled the next day. My wife refuses to sail right now. We will see if our august cruise out of chaleston is a go.

Well my 1/17 cruise stress just escalated. Now we test 2 days before (normal) and again at the port.

Is that for vaccinated as well?

Yes. Got the email tonight. Couple of port changes & testing at port in addition to 2 days before. Likely due to it being a 10 day.

[amanda219]

Want to add I think it's specific to the 1/17 sailing of the Sunshine.

I hope so as well! Tortola is a great stop, did that on a private sailing.  Amber Cove we did the 2 stop snorkeling through Carnival and it was a blast!  Saw tons of fish!  Is the test a rapid test at the port?

Looks like rapid at the port.

 

Help me on Tortola! New port & zero research. Advice??

All I did was a hike up to  a sugar mill, but I bet there's more.  Is Carnival offering excursions?
