    We are now up to $1138 after being twice cancelled. To make matters worse.......

    After the first cancellation, they promised my port charges to be refunded within 10 days......lol, nope

    For the second cruise, I had to pay up front for additional deposit and port charges.....now cancelled again!
    Now, following today’s announcement, no additional cruise credits, another promise of a refund, now 90 days or more out. Here’s the real kicker......if I want to rebook again, I have to pay up front again!

    As a Diamond member, 30 plus years......someone at Carnival please tell me why I, or anyone else should do business with you!

    Ours started with the cancellation of the Mardi Gras tranatlntic, the the sunrise out of new york. I hope our 8/21 goes...

    Carnival cancelled all NY cruises for this year.  I was supposed to go on my 20th anniversary cruise.  Debating if I should take the full refund or get the FCC and 600 on board credit.  I do plan on rebooking something just not sure out of which port yet. 

    We were also on the Sunrise . 8/17/20 for our 20th. We just got off the phone with our PVP and have rebooked out of Miami.  Looking forward to it.

     

    Come on and rebook !!

    Okay, some clarification here.  For MOST normal Caribbean cruises (not Panama canal, not Alaska), ship time will remain the same throughout, namely the time zone applicable during embarkation (let's say EST out of Mia in the winter).  That clock won't change onboard.  And all the information you receive (like when you need to be back to the ship on a port day) will be reflective of that original ship time.  As others have said, that may not coincide with local time in any individual port.  That said, the private tour operators do this every day and understand the conversion.  Any communication you have with them beforehand can clarify any differential between the two.  And it's always good to check with your tour operator during your tour.

     

    Here's an important thing to remember.  Do not rely on your cellphone to be accurate with respect to ship time once you set foot ashore.  There is no substitute for a good wristwatch set to ship time during the week.

    Hello all.  Just back from the Sunrise cruise yesterday and wanted to give our opinions.  We cruise a lot and this was my 25th Carnival cruise so over time I have seen changes.  Some good some bad.  I have sailed the Triumph and now the Sunrise and overall I liked the changes.  I think people are expecting a lot and when expectations are too high you are disappointed.  I feel there are no bad ships and no bad cruises it is what you make of it.  So here is my take and again it is only an opinion.

     

    PROS:

    Cruise director was great

    Guys Pig and Anchor BBQ- food was hot, delicious and the lines were never too long ( There are two lines one from each end so check both sides before you get in line)

    Pasta Station at Cucina Capitano- lots of choices, food hot and fresh

    Overall decor- very tropical, clean and welcoming

    Cucina Capitano- Breakfast has made to order omelettes and a small buffet ( no one even knew it was there so it was never busy)

    Red Frog Pub Bar- bartenders were great, had a ton of fun playing table shuffleboard and they had delicious looking fish bowl drinks ( I had Cheers package so not included)

    Flat screen tv's in room are big and the free on demand movies were a great addition

    Alchemy Bar- mixologists were super friendly, attentive and made delicious drinks

    Cucina Capitano-Dinner was superb.  service excellent, food delicious and for the cost best deal on the ship

    Dining room Breakfast- was excellent with great choices, hot food and our service was very quick

    Embarkation & Debarkation- Port Everglades has this down to a science.  On the ship within 30 mins of parking the car and off the ship in about the same amount of time.

    Staff was fantastic every where we went.  We were pleasantly surprised by how helpful and friendly everyone was.

     

    CONS:

    Dinning Room Choices- our dining team was fantastic but the choices were limited. What I ate was great but I had a hard time finding something to get excited about.

    Comedy Club- getting to the club was cumbersome and the room is small.  Our comedians were not great.

    Hot Tubs- kids, kids, kids no adults.  I am all for kids and almost always travel with mine, but hot tubs should be for adults only.  At one point 12 kids in one hot tub with no adults 

    Promenade Deck- I don't like that they took all the couches and chairs out of the Promenade.  That was a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery and people watching.

    Show Lounge- very small now and the chairs on the main floor in front of the stage are a little weird.

    Showtimes- I know on a 4 day they try to cram as much in as possible but with late dining we found it hard to see a show and a comedian on the same night.

     

    We liked this cruise and ship so much we booked the 12 day Journey cruise from New York in October.  Definitely give this ship a try.  She will not disappoint.  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask.  I am not a picture taker so unfortunately I don't have pictures of anything but would be happy to help how I can.

     

     

     

    Do you remember who your mixologists were at the Alchemy bar?

    We are on the Journey cruise mid August.
