My husband and I had the fortunate opportunity to spend part of our honeymoon aboard the Carnival Sunshine. We had an AMAZING time on our special vacation and much of that joy came from our cruise. We were aboard one of the first cruises for the Sunshine departing from Barcelona on June 7th. This was my fifth cruise and my husband's second (first for him aboard Carnival and my third Carnival cruise). While of course there are always ups and downs with any trip, here are some of the highlights of our experiences...

Embarkation:

By far the best embarkation I have ever had for a cruise. We arrived early to the cruise terminal in Barcelona - about 10:45am. All of our boarding materials stated that we'd be allowed on the ship starting at 11:30am and we were pleased to find a very organized terminal when we arrived at 11am. The process was almost so easy that we thought we had missed something! We dropped off our luggage outside (we already had the cruise tags on our luggage), received a boarding group number, breezed through security, spent about 30 seconds getting our Sail & Sign card (we had done all the pre-boarding materials online already) and then sat in a very comfortable waiting area (with couches, nice tables, even an outside patio overlooking the water) until our boarding number was called. Even everyone around us seemed relaxed! We were group #9 and were on the ship by about 11:20am. A great way to start our trip!
