Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first time on Carnival together.

Probably not the best ship to go on as our first experience with Carnival.

Everywhere everywhere we've gone so far has felt crowded.

My CPASS card does not have my name on it. So, I've got to go down and see if I can get the right card.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Expect narrow passageways and crowds on older ship designs
Check your key card immediately upon boarding to avoid guest services lines
Order multiple appetizers in the MDR as portions are small

YouTube Video Description

We’re boarding the Carnival Sunrise—yes, the ship featured in Netflix’s “Poop Cruise” documentary—and embarkation day was anything but smooth. 🚢 Here’s what went down: 🍴 Lunch at the buffet was chaotic, with limited options and big crowds. 🔑 Corey’s room key didn’t work—and it even had someone else’s name on it! That meant nearly an hour wasted in the Guest Services line. 🎉 The Sailaway Party brought the energy with dancing, music, and plenty of drinks. 🍽️ But dinner in the MDR? Let’s just say it didn’t live up to expectations. Embarkation days are always an adventure, but this one gave us a full taste of Carnival’s highs and lows. 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell to follow along as we share the real experience of cruising on Carnival Sunrise.
