runner15km Posted March 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Way too short of a cruise for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibble Posted March 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Carnival Sunshine will do a 2 day Cruise out of Port Canaveral in April, leaving on Thursday and returning Saturday am...Debating if its worth a 4.5 hour drive one way for such a short cruise, plus we will just be getting settled in...Any comments will be helpful... I've done a few two-nighters to Nassau. They are a lot of fun, but I say that as living only an hour away from Port of Miami. If given the opportunity to do a 2-nighter, say from Port Canaveral (3 hours for me), I don't know that I'd do it. If you do, just expect that it will be a total whirlwind of a weekend. Can you add a day in Orlando to make it more worth the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted March 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2014 too short. save the money and do a 7/8 day cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asalligo Posted March 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I would never even consider this cruise since they want $299 a person for an oceanview for basically one day and two nights on the boat. The Ecstasy is $234 a person for a 4 day in April out of Miami to Key West and Cozumel. Worth the extra drive for me unless you really want the Sunshine.

radioguy54 Posted March 21, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Part of the reason was to go on the Sunshine, however the time and money involved, it makes sense to wait and go on a longer cruise...If it had been 3 days I probably would do that...Thanks for the responses:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If the alternative is to stay home and do nothing, and if the money spent won't hinder your ability to take a longer cruise later, I'd say go for it. You can always add a night at a nice hotel on the beach before or after the cruise to make it more worthwhile.

Bibble Posted March 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Part of the reason was to go on the Sunshine, however the time and money involved, it makes sense to wait and go on a longer cruise...If it had been 3 days I probably would do that...Thanks for the responses:) I understand that - we are doing 2 nights on RCCL Oasis in August. Crazy $$$ (whereas the other 2 nighters I've done have been around $199/person), but our point to do it is that we most likely won't ever book a full week on the Oasis. (and again, it's only 1 hour for us. Even for the Oasis, I'm not sure I'd drive more than that). Edited March 21, 2014 by Bibble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Debating if its worth a 4.5 hour drive one way for such a short cruise.. We drove 7 hours from Atlanta to do the 3 night cruise on the Sensation. We don't regret the decision but it was a bit exhausting driving down on the same day of the cruise. On the way back we did decide to spend an extra night in Orlando and then we drove home the following morning after a good night rest.

Living in Tampa I've considered this 2 day sailing multiple times but I just can't bring my self to drop $200+ on a 2 night cruise. There is just so much more bang for your buck out of Florida. Fingers crossed this sailing drops dramatically a week or two before sailing and I can have a last minute weekend getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany527 Posted March 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If you've got the extra money, go ahead and do it. You'll have a great time. It will just make you long for another cruise ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted March 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yeah go ahead...what is the price??? If you can follow it up with a back-to-back ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted March 21, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2014 We do 4 hour drives just to spend the weekend in Vegas so driving that far for a 2-day cruise would be something We'd consider!:D I've driven to San Diego (2 hrs. from our home) just to take a cruise that only went out to sea at night and came back to shore the next day! Do you think we're cruise addicted!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
