LongHill44 Posted November 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2019 We are researching ships out of NJ/NY and Baltimore for a June trip and the Sunrise tends to be the least expensive out of all the lines and ships we have been looking at and I am curious as to why? Has anyone been on the Sunrise recently? Pros? Cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kel040 Posted November 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2019 We will be sailing on the Sunrise in January.. I'll try to check back in here afterwards and share with you my thoughts ! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyotravel Posted November 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Reviews can be found here. As always YMMV so take with a grain of salt. More people write when they are upset about something than when everything goes fine. But you might find some insightful stuff. https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/getreviews.cfm?action=ship&ShipID=1336 The first one has a pros and cons list, which you specifically asked for.

Luke Saint Joe Posted November 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Read Jamman's review of his B2B cruises on Sunrise (page 2 of Carnival message board). His wife always takes great pictures of the entire ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacruise804 Posted November 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I second reading Jamman's review. I was also on the first leg (Bermuda) and included many of my thoughts in his review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missholly24 Posted November 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We just got back Thursday. We had a great time! Yes it’s crowded at times in certain places and that one ice machine is still broken (🙄 Lol) but overall we loved it. The cruise director is a star and the crew is great. Some tips- you can eat breakfast at Cucina the Italian restaurant. It’s not busy at all. We easily found deck chairs in the aft on deck 10 on a sea day! The bar on deck 9 aft was never busy. You can order a pizza for 5 bucks and have it delivered (To you anywhere on the ship) to avoid the dumb 25 minute pizza line. And don’t forget the buttons to open all the sliding doors. (Weird) It wasn’t my favorite ship but would book again in a heartbeat for a good deal or great ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwal Posted November 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 23, 2019 We just got back on Thursday as well. Overall great staff and food, no real complaints. We have another Sunrise cruise booked for next summer. If you like omelets for breakfast then you will like that they about 4 stations open in the morning. The least busy being in the cucina and seafood shack. What I loved was that you could also get other fixings with you omelet on the side, I dont remember this being offered on my other cruises. I felt our cabin was on the warmer side but it didn’t impact anything overall. The layout is a little funky with having a restaurant midship and having the mid elevators tucked behind the casino, but after a couples days we got used to the layout and were fine. We loved the stadium style seating on lido, was perfect for watching movies. Everyone’s tastes are different, I would recommend giving it a chance, after all, you’re still cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
