Onboard entertainment - stupid question

[minesawine]

Hello - a new cruiser here

 

I have booked my carnival sunshine cruise. How do I find out about things like the entertainment, resteraunts, activities etc. I couldn't see anything on the carnival website and would like to start planning what to do onboard.

 

Can the experienced cruisers please help me.

 

thanks

You really cannot completely plan out your onboard activities until you are on board. You will get a little magazine at your door each night which will tell you all about the activities,entertainment, restaurant opening times etc. You will be able to see daily menus on your tv screen. Some people on here post past Fun Times to show folks but you cannot assume that every activity or show will be the same during your cruise.

go to reviews and see what people have said about activities and entertainment on your ship for more info. Things do change from time to time though,

You can get an idea from looking for Fun Times others have posted, but no two cruises are the same.

 

An example:

Don't try to plan. Read the flyer when you board, bring a yellow highlighter to mark what sounds interesting and take it from there. To try to read it without having to sailed before will be even more confusing.

Do the entertainers sleep onboard ? :)

Carnival Live entertainers, no. They come on board only for a concert. As for the regular shows, yes. They have other duties on board, not just singing and dancing.

Don't try to over-plan too much. Once on board you may find many different things that interest you. If you try to cram in everything you'll be exhausted. We've been on 6 cruises and still haven't done all the things we want to on the ships. It gives us another excuse to cruise again. ;)

 

We've all been first time cruisers at one point. We didn't know about CC until after our 1st cruise and even after 6 under our belt we're still learning. No question is stupid and if anyone makes you feel that way, shame on them!

Yes, but sometimes for only a night or two. The comedians will usually change out somewhere mid-cruise as well as other entertainers.

As others have said, you can't really plan any onboard activities before you get on the ship.

 

Every night you will receive a FunTimes. This shows all the activities for the next day. There is a tear-off sheet that makes it easier to carry around with you on the ship and look at for reference throughout the day.

 

There are extra FunTimes at most of the bars, and at Guest Services.
