I am going on Spirit to Alaska in July for a balcony which side of the ship would have the best view. This is a roundtrip from Seattle.

When Sunshine was in Port Canaveral we sailed on her 2 years (2018 & 2019) in a row she is one of our favorite ships. Really love the layout. 

Cruised on Magic 09/04/2021 Our first cruise back since COVID it was great no crowds, no waiting in lines,  and great service in dining room. HUB app great for checking in to eat each night and to see activities going on around the ship. New muster was great took like maybe 5 minutes. Loved Half Moon Cay (1st time there). Can't wait until April 2022 for next cruise.

We had two canceled cruises one April 2020 Legend and Magic for Jan 2021 so I booked MG last week for April 30, 2022 using one of the FCC's and OBC and still holding on to my other FCC for now. I booked a Lido Balcony.

I am going to just do a beach trip next month I cannot take another cancellation. My next cruise is Jan 21 I hope we can go for sure then.

April 2019 on Carnival Sunshine was suppose to be on Carnival Legend in less than two weeks April 26th.

Love the Sunshine have sailed on it 2 times. Mikey the CD was the best CD we ever had but he is no longer there . Just get to serenity early to get chairs they fill up fast we had 4 sea days and I managed to get one 3 of the days. When eating in Lido get your food and go back to the Havana area to eat it is quiet and peaceful. If you like comedy to get a good seat you will need to get in line like 20 minutes before the show times.

Love Sunshine we sailed on it 2 years in a row. Liberty is ok but not as good as Sunshine.

I am booked on the Legend for April 2020 I have never been on this class of ship. I have been all the other class ships with Carnival with exception of Vista class (this will be 10th cruise on Carnival). So how will the Legend be different than the other class ships. I have heard good mostly but some not so good stuff. Thanks

First time on Royal (Harmony) April 2020 I went in cruise planner to book 2 excursions and it would not add them to my cart. Can you not book excursions 6 months out or do you all think they are all ready sold out. I know on Carnival as soon as excursions show up you can book them but I have never seen them sold out this fast 6 months out. I hate Royal's website not sure if it just me but I get kicked out of it all the time.

Thanks

Thanks for all the info and suggestions.

If you like food, then get the 3 night package when it is on sale. If you are adventurous, do Wonderland but you really can’t go wrong with any of the options. 
 

What kind of room did you get?  Just curious 😁

Ocean View front of ship deck 10

Going on Harmony of the Seas in April 2020

All pervious cruises have been on Carnival

A few questions:

How much are the pictures? Do they print them or are they digital? Do they offer picture packages?

Is a dining package worth the extra cost? If so which places should we try?

Feel free to give me any tips and suggestions.

Thanks

Last week I took an upgrade on Legend for April 2020 went from an Obstructed balcony on deck 5 to an Extended balcony on deck 7 for $74 total. We usually stay in Interior rooms.

Love the Sunshine have been on it 2 years in a row. If you want a good seat with a stage view get to the comedy club early is my advice and if you want a chair in the senerity area you also need to get there early also. I never felt like it was crowded on the Sunshine. My favorite ship so far.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either ship. If it is more about the ship, I would pick Legend because of the Serenity area. In my opinion Spirit class ships have by far the best Serenity areas.  Plus Spirit class ships are Carnival’s best designed ships in my book. 

I have not been on a spirit class ship...what is so different/good about them?

Just completed Sunshine 5 day from Charleston to Nassau and Half Moon Cay. 

 

Charleston is handling embark/debark better

 

We had a deck 8 aft balcony

 

anytime dining and steakhouse

 

Only ship in Nassau

 

no staff issues

 

ship needs some TLC

Who was the cruise director?

For 2020 I am looking at a Western route and I am trying to decide Glory out of New Orleans or Legend out of Tampa. Both 7 days. These both would be new ships for us and we have been to all these ports so I guess I am asking more about the ships than the ports.

Legend: Grand Cayman, Mahogany Bay, Belize, Cozumel

Glory: Mahogany Bay, Belize, Cozumel

Hello,

 

I am back to Carnival and its been a few years since we last took a week cruise on Carnival.  We have some questions if anybody is able to help we truly appreciate it!

 

1-  We will be on the western sailing, we were planning on eating in the steakhouse nightly but I like to try the MDR, does anybody have the menu's so we can choose which days we eat in the steakhouse/MDR and or, does anybody recall which night is lobster night and the night they have turkey?

 

2-  Is it true, the deli now offers bacon lettuce tomato sandwiches?

 

3-  At Port Canaveral, do platinum board before or after disabled?

 

4-  Are our shipboard cards in the mailbox or do we get them in the terminal, and for those who have the Cheers package, are the stickers already on the cards or do we have to go to a bar and get them?

 

 

2. Yes the deli has BLT's

4. Yes they are in your mailbox

Has anyone sailed with MICHAEL GIBSON ?  He'll be on the Sunshine when we sail in December.

Yes we have had him 2 times on the Sunshine BEST cruise director ever. He is everywhere and full of energy.

 

If you will be making a booking under US/Canadian rules, then all sailings have refundable deposit bookings on categories up through Junior Suites.  Grand Suites and better are all non-refundable bookings now.

 

Either way, refundable or non-refundable deposit, you can still get price drops on US/Canadian bookings until final payment date.

I have my first RC cruise booked I booked online myself how do you get the price drops?

With the new cakes, has anyone seen Red Velvet?

Yes on Paradise in December they had one. It was good.

On Sunshine in 2018 we had a scenic OV in the very front on Lido it had a lot of motion so going on Sunshine again in April we are trying Aft Deck 5 this time. I hope it was a good choice.

I would do an island tour in St Kitts it is a beautiful island ours was thru Carnival it was on 4x4 Safari trucks that were open air it was like 6 hours but we saw a lot of the island. It was one of the best excursions we have been on.
