I told you my husband and I were going “unplugged” for a week on my Facebook page. We unplugged because we were going to be out in the middle of the ocean. And we’d be too busy snorkeling, kissing dolphins, eating lobster tail and drinking coconut milk straight from the coconut.
We went on a Western Caribbean cruise on-board the Carnival Sunshine. And it was awesome. And it was awesome that the ship just happened to be called Sunshine. Believe me, I was seeing all the sunshine during this vacation!
The ship was huge, as I knew it would be. We stayed on Deck 8 in an inside cabin, which means we didn’t have any windows. It was wonderful! I love sleeping in pitch black darkness. At home, I’ll often sleep with a small pillow over my head to keep the light out. I did not need that pillow on the cruise because our room was so dark. We would wake up and we wouldn’t know if it was 3 a.m., 8 a.m., or noon!
We had two days at sea. We went to a couple entertaining shows with music and dancing. I love watching the dancing and seeing the costumes. I went to a Latin show and a Rock N’ Roll show. Both were really good!
We loved going to the Comedy Club on-board. It was my favorite thing to do on the ship and they had several shows each night. They also had other shows throughout the week, interactive shows such as the hypnotist. Travis volunteered to go on stage and be hypnotized!
We also loved the Hasbro Game Show. I wish we could have got on stage to play! And it was hilarious watching the Love and Marriage Show. We would have liked to have gotten on stage for that one too!
Are you hungry? You are about to be.
We loved all the food on the ship. We ate at different places for lunch each day. Sometimes we were off the ship, but when we were on the ship we ate at the buffet, Guy’s Hamburger place and the Mexican place! Every night we ate in the dining room for a three-course meal. We sat at shared tables so we got to meet lots of new people. Once, we ate at a table by ourselves too. We really enjoyed meeting a couple from Missouri and a mom and son duo from North Carolina. In fact, we met the four of them during our very first night on the ship and we spent our last night on the ship with them too.
My favorite foods were the chocolate melting cake (duh), the Caesar salad, grilled chicken, pasta, tacos, ice cream, cookies, shrimp, strawberry soup …
Travis’ favorites were the lobster tail, filet mignon, tiramisu, baked alaska, hamburgers, tacos, cappuccino pie, apple pie, sushi …
Travis was really good at making the perfect ice cream cone! I had no idea he had such skills!
Here are more pictures of us on our cruise!
I enjoyed coming to our room each evening to find a new towel animal friend on our bed. My favorite was the elephant. One morning, we went upstairs to eat breakfast and there were towel creations all over the deck. Big alligators, monkeys hanging everywhere, and herds of dinosaurs all over the deck. It was so cute!
This is just a recap of our time on the Sunshine ship. I haven’t even touched on all the places we stopped and all the adventures we had, but you can check out that post here.
Can’t wait to hear more of your adventures.
And I can’t wait to share!
Glad y’all had so much fun!
