    We sailed on the Sunshine out of Port Canaveral last December and are excited that we get to take it out of a much closer port in Charleston SC. The only negative we had was that you had to walk thru the casino area to check in for dinner and to get to other things and it was so smoky. The best part is staying in a spa balcony room and having 3 levels of the beautiful Serenity deck. Mikey the Cruise Director was a hoot too!

I was planning on taking a deck of cards, but thanks for pointing out that taking a game or two might come in handy.

      Correct, they are only an additional charge for certain meals. JiJi Asian Kitchen is complimentary for breakfast and lunch, but is an additional charge for dinner.

    • @TheJellyBeans
      @TheJellyBeans  Před 5 lety +1

      That's a legitimate concern. You might consider switching to assigned time dining. Even if assigned time dining is not an available option before you board, you can talk to the maître d' once you're on the ship to make the switch. We recommend talking to them after boarding on embarkation day. If you go to Guest Services or one of the restaurants immediately after boarding, they'll tell you when and where the maître d' will be available. We've made the switch this way several times, including our last sailing.

      Most of the tips should still be accurate based on our recent Carnival cruises. The only tip that is likely no longer accurate is the "Secret Buffet." We haven't seen any of those kinds of food offerings since COVID.
