First Carnival cruise! We didn't want to fly to go to a port so we drove from VA to NY. I have been on Royal Caribbean cruise ships before so this was a first carnival experience for my husband and I. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. We went on the Carnival Sunshine. We had an inside stateroom and we never felt cramped. It was very clean and cozy. We each had our own closests and drawers. The staff and crew were amazing! We received special cards for our anniversary and the mate trade checked on us every night in the dining room. On the last night they sang happy anniversary to us with cake and a candle.
What made our cruise experience extra special was the Cruise Director! Emma Nixon was the best cruise director! Our vacation was an amazing experience that we will never forget. She made everything so much fun!!!
We did not do an excursion
