Creator's Key Takeaways
I've sailed on over 40 cruise ships in the past decade, and when Carnival Sunrise caught my attention, I knew I had to experience what this midsized beauty had to offer.
Let me be completely honest with you, this isn't the newest ship in Carnival's fleet, but sometimes the older ships have the most character.
What really surprised me was how they managed to pack so much variety into a ship that carries just over 2900 passengers.
The Sky Ride aerial bike experience is absolutely unique and offers an exhilarating way to see the ship from a completely different perspective.
