Review summary

The overall cruise was good but would likely choose a different company for future cruises. Many areas were dirty and COVID protocols were not followed by staff or travelers. There was limited activities on board and during ports. Staff made all the different though, especially in the main dining room.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Long lines at check-in, clearer instructions on baggage tagging needed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was great but became very repetitive quickly. Menus should be more different from day to day (majority of the entrees and grilled items are the same)

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Water slides and high-ropes course was closed most of the week. More fitness classes could be offered

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedians were great as well as main headliner shows

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service in the main restaurant was spectacular. Our team of servers, Gede, Chriz and Yuliyanto made the trip for us. Specifically, Yuliyanto went out of his way to give us the best experience, from checking on drinks, courses and asking about our days/experience. He could have easily been a lead server which his service style. Gede, Chriz and Yuliyanto were the best service we received on board and are the reason we would return to Carnival Sunrise. Our room attendant, Sudi, was also amazing. He was very interactive and approachable and provided great service.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Many areas could have been cleaner (clearing dishes from hallways of rooms, tables) and Lido deck was quite dirty throughout the week

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Outlets are needed by the beds, not only USB outlets which newer phones no longer use.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Good but hectic

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1 out of 5
No freedom to travel through Ocho Rios, no real taste of Jamaica unless you found a private guide.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Did an excursion but not through Carnival. It was a great experience and half the cost of booking through carnival

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast
