queenpailhead Posted November 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Sorry for another post but I just saw that Sunrise goes to Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman the same time Elation goes to Amber Cove and Grand Turk. The prices are very similar. I'm new to cruising (only one cruise) and it was with RCI on Allure. I enjoy the ports and want to sail for a combo of the ports and the ship. I'm very interested in Grand Turk and Grand Cayman, not as thrilled with Amber Cove or Ocho Rios. But the thought of sailing the VERY newly refurbished Sunrise kind of excites me. Can anyone help my decision making? Keep in mind I don't know much about the Carnival ship "classes" but it appears Sunrise is a higher class ship compared to Elation? Anyone have comments on the ports each goes to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlgirlmq Posted November 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I would definitely pick Sunrise over Elation. They are adding a ton of fun things to do like a ropes course, Water Works and more included food venues. I was on the Triumph (which will become the Sunrise) in October and they had started the room renovations. The new decor, carpeting, and furniture are a huge step above the Elation too. I have been to Grand Turk and it is nice but I have heard the beaches of Grand Cayman are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenpailhead Posted November 28, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The new food venues intrigue me for Sunrise. And DH and I would totally do the ropes course. Ugh decisions! I was down to 2 choices for Nov 2019 and now I'm up to 4! 2 CC, 1 RCI, and a Celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbyrd72 Posted November 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We are on the inaugural cruise on the Sunrise in April 2019. We have been on RCL and Norweigen and this is my wife's 1st time on Carnival, my 3rd with them. We love the idea that they are putting over $200 million in renovation. Hope this helps you make a great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
