919Florida Posted September 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I need help and was hoping you guys could give me advice on what you would do. I am trying to decide between two cruises and I am stuck not sure what to do. Below are my options: Sept 16, 2018: 5 Night Cruise Carnival Sunshine visiting Amber Cove and Grand Turk. Total costs $1065 Sept 30, 2018: 6 Night Cruise Carnival Breeze visiting Amber Cove, Grand Turk and Nassau. Total costs $1170 So both cruises cost nearly the same. I have been on the sunshine 2 years ago and LOVED that cruise. Really enjoyed the ship a lot and that's why I am considering it again. However the Breeze is a new ship to me and I am kind of excited to check out a new ship as well. The itinerary is great because both visit the two ports I really want to go to and that's Amber Cove and Grand Turk as I have never been to either. If you were in this situation which should would you chose and why? I appreciate any advice you can give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraynumber6 Posted September 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Love both of these ships. If you have not been on Breeze worth checking out. Sunshine is totally different than any ship I have been on. Don't think you can go wrong with either, but check out the weather channel, if you are going to travel during this time of year there is some risk!

vamartha Posted September 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've sailed on both and I'd take the Breeze and the addition of Nassau as a port has absolutely ZERO bearing on that decision. The Breeze is so far my favorite ship and I'm finishing my Dream Class Trifecta with the Magic in 55 days. I suspect the Breeze will still be my favorite even after this cruise. For me, the Breeze is just so laid back, the decor is Caribbean Resort and not pink urns and neon (or any of the other over the top Carnival - Farcus interior designs). The major plus for the Sunshine for me is JiJi's. That one plus isn't anywhere near enough of a deal breaker to entice me to choose the Sunshine over the Breeze. Neither is the amazing Serenity on the Sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted September 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2017 BREEZE,,,,in a heartbeat! Not only do I personally, enjoy the BREEZE a bit more than Sunshine, but it's a day longer, and IMO well worth the extra $100. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicbuffalo Posted September 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2017 My wife & I have been on both and we enjoyed both cruises. That being said, we'd hands down do the Breeze again...not so much the Sunshine.....it was too cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Hogs Posted September 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The Breeze is the best of Carnival , there is a ji ji's on the Breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted September 3, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Breeze gets my vote... when looking into my upcoming cruise I was debating Breeze & Freedom, and did a lot of research... of course it depends on what you like to do, but I think the kids will enjoy the activities on the Breeze- Sky Course, Imax Theater etc...

zephyrhillscruisers Posted September 3, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 3, 2017 While they fit as much into and onto the Sunshine as they possibly could, the lack of a full second pool and its overall smaller size, I'd choose the Breeze. Mind you, the Sunshine is a pretty sweet ship but we did an 8 day on her, and most everyone was out on deck during the three sea days,where it got pretty crowded.

mrpayroll Posted September 3, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Simple .....The Breeze. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sailawaybellaluna Posted September 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I sailed the Breeze out of Europe when it was first built, and hands-down it is my favorite ship! It's gorgeous! (Much more so than the newer Vista, which I sailed out of Athens last summer IMO). Choose the Breeze for sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
919Florida Posted September 3, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted September 3, 2017 You guys are awesome. Thank you for the suggestions and also listing your reasons why. Looks like I am going to do the Breeze then and I am very excited for it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted September 3, 2017 #12 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Cruised Destiny and Breeze, liked Destiny, loved Breeze. Will cruise Sunshine within a few weeks and I think the Breeze will still win out, know soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmarnnurse Posted September 4, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Following. I'm planning on booking the Breeze for 2019, after not sailing Carnival since 2007. I have primarily been sailing RCCL and NCL, but have Carnival reward points to cash in for a free cruise. Hoping we enjoy the Breeze!

grandmarnnurse Posted September 4, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Breeze by a mile. So glad to hear all these positive comments in favor of the Breeze, as that is the ship I'm booking for my 2019 cruise, that I will book sometime this January. I usually book a year out, as soon as I get back from my 2018 cruise on the NCL Getaway. I will be looking forward to see for myself how Carnival may have improved,mad I have not sailed Carnival since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
