Carnival Sunshine

[cruiseaway7522]

Am booked on the sunshine April 19th for 8-day to carribian. How crowded do you think the ship will be?

I would guess that at that time of year, "Sunshine" will sail with almost all the cabins FULL! At least the kids will still be in school, so you shouldn't be overrun with curtain climbers. ;) Rates are still attractive in April.

Can not remember a CCL cruise we were on that did not sail full except for the Holiday which had a line at the pier waiting for unsold or no shows back in the day. Both RCCL ships we were on had a few cabins available.

Normally there is a sign when you get on at the service desk that states No Cabins Available.

We booked the Sunshine for the April 6th -11 day repro. at the same cost as a 7 day. As far as kids we don' really attention to the number on the ship.

The Destiny was a poorly designed ship with many bottlenecks, now as the Sunshine they added more cabins and less open areas. Expect crowds.

Not so fast about the kids I think it's a vacation week in many areas of the East coast.

I am on the same sailing... The ship is almost sold, so i'm sure it will be full.

That week (april 19) is Easter break on the east coast and why we booked...need for the dd to have something to do...can't wait!

The key to the crowds will be the summer sailings in the Caribbean. Jury is still out on crowding.

How do you tell if a ship is almost sold out?

Sorry I missed it. When did you sail the Sunshine?

[runner15km]

No, I did not sail on the Sunshine but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.
