7 Night Bermuda (Charleston Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 28, 2019

Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 4 years ago

Review summary

We sailed to Bermuda on the tail of Hurricane Dorian so we had strong winds and somewhat rough seas. Dorian caused much damage to trees and other vegetation and Bermuda was in clean up mode. We will return here and see Bermuda in all her glory; parts if Bermuda reminded me of Hawaii.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It's always easy to board in Charleston; they do it a little different than other ports, but it works.

Our stateroom attendants were great; as always.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The Sunshine has a different layout than other ships, just use the deck map.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

L shaped cabin with an extra long balcony. I really liked the "hidden" door to the stateroom.

Ship tip

Use the ship's map to navigate the ship.

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5

I didn't take my camera to Princess Cay so all pictures were taken from the ship once we reboarded. We had a relaxing beach day and look forward to returning to Princess Cay.

King's Wharf, Bermuda

4 out of 5

This area is laid out well for cruisers. Turn right when exiting the ship and all the tours and shops are in front of you.
