Sailing on the Carnival Sunrise

I recently sailed on the Carnival Sunrise out of Miami, Florida and was pleasantly surprised! There is quite a bit of controversy concerning this ship in particular so I was unsure what to expect. If you are unfamiliar with this ship, it was previously known as the Carnival Triumph but after a refurbishment and rename back in 2019 it now known as the Sunrise which is a part of the Sunshine class.

During our embarkation, the process was very smooth and quick. The only con we faced was the traffic getting into the port itself so I would make sure to account for the extra time! Like most ships, a lot of the common areas including the buffet can be a bit crowded until the staterooms are ready so I like to use this time to explore areas such as the fitness center, the spa, kid's clubs, and lounges. We had an ocean view stateroom on deck one which I surprisingly enjoyed due to  having quick access to the gangway on our port days. The stateroom was also midship so we were able to get to the common areas such as the lounges and buffet fairly quick via the stairs or elevator.

Some of the ship's amenities included Sports Square which has a ropes course, foosball, pool tables, shuffle board, basketball, and corn hole. There is also two pools and various hot tubs across the ship as well as water slides. Like many Carnival ships you can also find the adult's only area, Serenity, and kid's clubs. The main theater on this ship is called The Liquid Lounge and here you can enjoy shows from the Playlist Productions and participate in BINGO.

Our stops for this sailing included Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau- all of which were beautiful and had amazing weather even in the winter month of January. Both Grand Turk and Nassau you are able to simply walk off the ship but as for Half Moon Cay, a tender boat is needed to get onto the island. Half Moon Cay is a private island owned by Carnival therefore is does not become too crowded. Lunch is included on this and usually lasts a couple of hours which is barbeque style with hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, and more!

Embarking on the Carnival Sunrise came with laughs, relaxation, and memories to last a lifetime. From the waitstaff at dinner remembering your name and drink order from the night before,  to your room attendant leaving a unique towel creation on your bed, the amazing crystal clear water on the beach of Turks and Caicos, and of course watching the Love and Marriage show- there are so many experiences to be had. You cannot go wrong with booking a sailing on this ship.
