Dave85 Posted May 19, 2013 #376 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Do you see any signs of the 'old' Destiny, or does it appear the whole ship has been revamped? Thanks again for taking the time to post pics! :) I've been playing the game trying to find signs of the old Destiny looking at these pictures lol. I spotted one picture with that ugly copper wall covering that was featured on Destiny, but it looks like they (thankfully) more or less did away with it. I recognize some of the nice tile floors from Destiny on the decks around the atrium. Those lions at the end of the stair rails... I don't remember them, but perhaps they're original too. Although I'm still a skeptic without plans to sail on Sunshine, I feel quite comfortable complimenting Carnival on money well spent upgrading the decor and general layout of the ship. Very attractive ship that looks a lot like the Breeze. I look forward to reading this an other reviews to see how the ship actually works out.

cruisinJenF Posted May 20, 2013 #377 Share Posted May 20, 2013 On the website that I am looking at, there is an interconnecting door in 10123 but it connects to 10125. You may want to confirm that. If that is so, maybe they could ask the guests who are in 10125 to exchange rooms ( 10121 ) with you. I'm sure they wouldn't want the door between their room and 10123, especially if there are children in there. The stateroom description does show 10121 connects to 10123. 10121 8S 185/35 sq ft Beds: twin/king cabin connects to: 10123 View: window and balcony Bathroom: shower-toilet-sink Features: flat screen-TV; telephone; 110 AC current; individual climate control; hair dryer; safe; 3-closets; desk and ottoman seat; sofa and coffee table Balcony features: 2 patio chairs and table balcony partition opens to: tba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different websites show different information. I had read somewhere that some of the cabins were re-numbered with the additionof new cabins. Don't know if it happened in this case. Since it is important to Maiden Journey, he/she needs to have the correct info before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare deladane Posted May 20, 2013 #379 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Sarge, thanks so much for taking the time to post all these photos! Can't wait to see the rest :) I hope you're having a great time on your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseclues Posted May 20, 2013 #383 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Absolutely, Outstanding, Interesting, Entertaining Photo Review...Just as Always. So, you are in Cabin 10121? What did you first get to eat when you got on to embark? Does the Pizzeria del Capitano have different Pizza than the usual Pirates Pizza? If so, could you get a photo of the pizza menu? Also the Shake Spot's menu? :):):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestt Posted May 20, 2013 #384 Share Posted May 20, 2013 We sail in July on the Sunshine and I've appreciated seeing all the pics and getting all of the info. Just a question or two though, are the Fun Days At Sea the formal days? And, are the formal dinners generally where the "good stuff" is served, eg. lobster? We have our Steakhouse reservation for a Fun Day At Sea, and I'm thinking we need to change it. Thanks for your help in advance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseclues Posted May 20, 2013 #385 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Tempestt, It looks like you have a 12 day from Venice (with 2 sea days?) ending in Barcelona. Your 1st sea day looks like the day after embarkation, and your 2nd sea day looks like the day after Izmir and before Messina about halfway through your cruise. I'm guessing you booked the Steakhouse for your 1st sea day the day after embarkation. Sarge has a 9 day from Barcelona (with 1 sea day?) ending in Barcelona. Sarge's sea day looks like May 24th, and he disembarks on the 26th in Barcelona...his sea day near the end of his cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll confirm the Shake Spot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting only one on ours, but we will have two and had one the first full day. It just depends. It's all good! For the steakhouse, you want to be hungry and not too tired from a long port day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted May 20, 2013 Author #388 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Is it just me or did the seating at the Piano Bar (around the actual piano) look smaller than most other ships? Maybe its because of the larger chairs than stools? One of the reasons I think some are saying it is a mimi-me Breeze. It looks like the Sunshine doesn't have a webcam that can be accessed on the internet yet... No webcam, although I could hook one up - without an unlimited internet plan??? - i dunno.

Sargent_Schultz Posted May 20, 2013 Author #389 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Is this on one of the stair railings? It looks like they forgot to get rid of something... Yes. A/C is still fine, although I did notice part of the buffet are seemed quite warm yesterday - but not all the time, so they may be still tweaking. A lot of the passengers were still in port and that may be when they work on stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelMore99 Posted May 20, 2013 #391 Share Posted May 20, 2013 hi Cruiseclues - We're on deck 10 - 10035 (I think) and also eager to hear if that deck had had the bugs worked out of the rooms!

jlpalmer Posted May 20, 2013 #392 Share Posted May 20, 2013 By day Ji Ji is basically a Mongolian Wok Habana Heading out on Sunshine for the New Years cruise and we are wondering if Ji Ji restaurant is open for lunch and free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATHENA3 Posted May 20, 2013 #393 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Love your pics Sarge still having trouble seeing all. Question, do you or anyone else have before and after pics of the Destiny/Sunshine main theater pics. I seen some of yours from the Sunshine,looking for the Destiny pics to compare the changes.

maitaiguy Posted May 20, 2013 #394 Share Posted May 20, 2013 If one knows how to pour beer, it won't be as foamy, but if one glass gets full, why not have a second standing by to fill up, as well? I haven't tried it, but think it is a method that would work. I think the issues I have heard about have work around solutions. I suggested that to one of my friends who complained about the foam. He shook his head and told me he thought of that too late.:( Have they finally replaced the ceiling panels by the glass elevator lobby on Deck 4? (I think it was 4, possibly 5). Is the main pool open yet? They finally got the Waterpark open on the next to last day of our cruise. Thanks for posting Sarge. We stayed over in Barcelona, just got home and have the usual stuff keeping us crazy busy today. Tomorrow we download the pics hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okgirl Posted May 20, 2013 #399 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thank you for your replies :) one more question do you recommend to buy drink package for a adult ? And how much are they ? Thank Emma I think I saw a pic that the Cheers program is still $42.95 per person per day on the Sunshine. When you add the gratuitiy it comes out to $49.95 per day. Everyone in the cabin over the age of 21 has to purchase the program. It can only be purchased on embarkation day and the next day. It covers alcohol drinks up to $10 each and you are limited to 15 per day 6a - 6a. Soft drinks and some virgin frozen drinks are also included but don't count toward your 15 drink limit. You can't share a package and it's not good for specialty coffees or in cabin purchases. I think it's a good value for my sister and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
