Charleston to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

So... We chose this cruise based on availability for spring break. upon booking, we knew it would be crowded. the crowds were the least of our concerns. the check in and disembarkation process was very efficient and moved quickly - no issues with either. carnival has it down to a science for sure. so 10 out of 10 ! Food: thank goodness for guys burgers - that's what we survived on the ...

We chose this cruise for the length, and port, as we were trying out a cruise with 4 grandchidren ( 1-6 years) and their parents. The itinerary was fine for our group. This is our 7th Carnival cruise, the last being in 2005. Our cabin was amazing. ( 7198) So much storage...the tub was great for the grandkids but might be difficult for some adults to get in and out of. Nice balcony, sofas. ...

We just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Sunshine out of Charleston. We had 14 in our group and we had a blast. We were on the Lido deck with a balcony. Nice clean room and our Stateroom attendant was Elna. She was so caring, kind, and attentive. Anything we needed she was able to provide. We ate Breakfast and Dinner in the Sunrise. The servers were excellent. We had Putra as our main server ...

This was my very first cruise and most definitely will be my last! This experience was horrible. the ship is old & outdated! The food was horrible & all began to taste & smell the same. The selection was even piss poor in both the formal dining area & also the lido marketplace. The cabins & water sources smelled like recycled urine & feces! I didn't pay for the drink package but wish i did after ...

We wanted a pre holiday getaway to some warm islands. We got that, Aruba, Grand Turk, Bonaire and Princes Cay. All were great. Warm water, easy access, enjoyable snorkeling and day trips. What was bad, was the ship experience. First, the food. The main dining experience is entirely via the Carnival Hub app. If you're looking for printed menus and any semblance of fine dining and excellence, ...

BACKGROUND: This was a much-anticipated special anniversary cruise for me and my husband, married over forty years, now both in our late sixties. This was my seventeenth cruise (twelfth on Carnival) and the sixth for my husband (all Carnival). BEFORE THE CRUISE: We live five hours away, so we decided to come in a day early and stay overnight so we would have no stress on embarkation day. We ...

We decided on this cruise because it was a location we could drive to from Canada with interesting stops along the way. We weren’t concerned about where it went, we just wanted to relax. It appealed to us as it had many cruising days where you can just sail, nap and relax. This one was Aruba, Bonaire, Grand Turk and Princess Cays. We like to explore past what we cal the frosting and walk the ...

The only reason I took this trip was because I was offered the opportunity to travel with a very old friend and an extended group of her mother's friends. I flew to Charleston from Chicago and had a one-night precruise at the very nice Hotel Bennett (arranged independently). I Ubered to the port at 12 for our 12:30 check-in time (coordinated against those arriving by car from NC). The ...

My wife and I booked this cruise under different circumstances than we normally do. On our previous cruises together, we've sought out newer ships and/or interesting itineraries that include places we've not been, even if it meant traveling to a departure port further away from us or spending a bit more to make it happen. We booked this one, however, on relatively short notice and did so largely ...

Had a wonderful 3rd time sailing on the Carnival Sunshine. This being our 1st time sailing out of Charleston. Charleston is a much more convenient option for us distance wise and it was a great place to stay the night before to enjoy. Now, the ship itself is really starting to show its age. We’ve loved this ship when we sailed on it in 2015 and 2018, but it’s in rough shape for 2022. The sports ...
