We found entertainment like a DJ, an amazing jazz show, and a poolside movie theater playing “The Batman.”ĭay Two (Half Moon Cay): This was the best day of the trip. We ended the day admiring the ship’s lights against the dark ocean.ĭay One: Called “A Day Out at Sea” by Carnival, it’s a day for passengers to enjoy the ship’s offerings. We explored the ship’s amenities, found our cramped cabins, and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat food options. The added cost of gratuity on drinks caused some family discord, but we eventually settled in.īoarding Day: This day is all about getting acquainted with the ship. Boarding wasn’t as smooth as we hoped it took about 2 hours, and we had to wait extra for our rooms. Luckily the Cuban inspired pineapple soda, Jupina, helped beat the heat.ĭespite some initial stress, we made it to the cruise ship on time. The Miami heat was challenging, especially without a car, so my tip is to rent one if you ever go there. Watching Ghostbusters at 30,000 feet is certainly an experience.Īfter a brief layover in Myrtle Beach, we reached Tampa, where we spent three days in a hotel before boarding the cruise on October 13th. It was a typical flight, but I passed the time by downloading movies.

Our journey began with a flight from Latrobe Airport to Tampa, Florida. Here’s our story, simplified for the High School Newspaper. We set sail on the ‘Carnival Sunrise,’ a Carnival Cruise-line ship from Miami, Florida, stopping at two beautiful destinations, Half Moon Cay and Nassau, during our 4-day voyage. On October 10th, 2022, my family embarked on an unforgettable adventure.
