Just found your channel while searching info on Carnival Sunshine! Love your Vlogs! I subscribed instantly! Your an adorable couple and love your sense of humor!
Love this video! You guys made me laugh a lot. I'm now a subscriber. I love a good, hot sandwich. I've been looking forward to the deli! I'm shocked at the size of the buffet. Bacon is a huge deal for us. We never eat it at home and were really looking forward to it on our cruise. I'm relieved to hear that the other food places are so good. Thanks guys!
Thank you! The buffet was rather tiny, however that Deli more than made up for it. Mmmm! We don’t quite understand Carnival’s conspiracy to limit bacon consumption, but other than being disappointed, we did not let it affect our time onboard!
I came across yall looking for videos about this cruise. I'm so happy I found you two. Not only do I love all the information you give. But I just love watching you two. I laugh so much. I hope to one day see yall on a cruise so we can hang out.
Thank you… that is so kind!!! We love meeting new family on here (or, of course, on ships😜)… it’s the reason this channel exists.😊 Are you planning a Sunshine trip?
I love love love the Sunshine!!! Will be on her again in March and somehow have never tried the fish tacos. Love the breakfast burrito but now I have to have a fish taco. Embarkation day lunch I will take care of that.
If you like fish tacos, we think you’re gonna love those on Sunshine. They were crunchy, tender, and adding a fresh squeeze of lime… Oh my! If you could grab a couple extra, throw them in your suitcase, and then mail them to us, that’s be awesome… maybe a little moldy, but awesome!!!!🤪🤢🤪
Chris is so funny! We're sailing the Sunshine in less than 30 days!!!! I'm so excited because it's my kids, scratch that, my teens first cruise. I just looked at our cabins and I think they are right below the made to order restaurants! We're all foodies so this should be even better 🤤
🙂That is THE perfect location for your cabin! The Sunshine seems like a great “first cruise” ship… lots of stuff to do but still not overwhelming like maybe those gigantic ships can be. Have an awesome time!!!!
@@Taste-Try-Travel I sailed in October and immediately booked for September 2023! I will be celebrating retirement after 30 years of teaching! Now I can cruise anytime!!
Great video, loved the bacon commentary and it mad me think about overall cuts on the line. Bacon prices shot up $2 per pound since 2020, so it's absolutely a cost cutting thing and has nothing to do with "shortages". So yeah if you run the numbers assuming the cruises were going through 2 pieces of bacon per person per day (1/8th of a pound), and assuming the average length per passenger was 4 days, that's half a pound per passenger per cruise. Then you factor in that they had 7.7M passengers in 2022, and you're looking at a $7.7M difference in bacon costs alone in the fleet. Crazy right? But here's the kicker. Their interest expense alone last year was $1.6 billion, just the INTEREST not the debt payback. $8M on bacon is a literal drop in the bucket. So it doesn't just stop there, the cuts are deeper and wider than that. My concern is that they are not just cutting bacon which we notice, they are cutting staff, services, amenities, charging for stuff like popcorn, and the nickel and diming is going to get worse before it gets better since their debt it so high.
Thanks!!!! Unfortunately, you are probably correct. There are some cruise lines that still try to make a guest experience that classic cruise experience. Hopefully, they are left alone in the corporate culture that’s taking over cruising.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Great editing. The editing adds so much to the enjoyment of watching content, and you hit it out of the park. (I totally appreciate it because I know how challenging editing can be!).
Another Chris & Beth marvel of a video!! Thanks so much!! ~ ~ Also - thanks to you ~~ and your great ‘sculpture garden’ video from Nassau, I now have something amazing to look forward to when we are on MSC Seascape in December. I have also shared that video with a lot of my peeps that had no idea what to do in Nassau. Let’s put a group cruise together for TTT fans in 2023! I know that it would be a friendly, fun group❤
Angie, you are the sweetest! We have had several people ask for a group cruise so I’m thinking we might just have to do that 😁 Super excited for you guys to check out Clifton Heritage Park… so many very cool things we didn’t even get a chance to try… please share with us how it goes
Thank you guys so much for this series! I found your channel while searching for videos about this ship. My husband and I will be sailing on the Sunshine early next year and your videos have been helpful with our planning. We went on this ship back in 2009 for our honeymoon when it was the Destiny, so it’s been cool to see how it’s changed since then! Also, can’t wait to look for your treasure at Half Moon Cay!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it… it’s amazing to cruise on big new ships, but we found that we really liked the layout and comfy feel of this smaller one. Have a fantastic time on the ship and also becoming a pirate 😎
Love your videos! You both are adorable 💯I am hooked! Love the creativity and time you take to create your product. Thank you for sharing- I am hopefully going to cruise next year.
I cruised the Mardi Gras in July and they only serve bacon every other day, I was disappointed about that too. On the Celebration last year and Mardi Gras the sea day brunch was good, but the buffet on both were underwhelming
I would love to know more about the waterproof iPhone case. I’m traveling to half moon cay very soon and I can’t buy the waterproof camera but the case I can do. Help me in Tennessee
Thanks for asking… the iPhone case was $55 on Amazon (now $45, there are a couple manufacturers, but the one I purchased was made by Willbox) It’s a fantastic case for snorkeling, but may not be for scuba (even though it’s rated to 66 feet) because the touch screen only works above the water. So you need to start recording above the water, then you can shoot video below. 2 drawbacks… it’s hard to see the screen underwater and your phone gets warm in the case (so don’t leave your phone in the case once your are done swimming). Hope that helps!!! 🙂
Ah hey there Mike… yeah I figured we would be on the same page with a lot of those!!! Seriously no bacon????? Can they even be called a cruise ship now? Ha ha 😎
I love this concept… 3 likes and 3 dislikes. We agree the popcorn should be included… it’s really not a large cost to Carnival and it does take away from the experience. Bacon isn’t a big deal for me but I get it. We did like the reenactment of the carnival execs 😂 We like YTD and the app is super easy… we agree. The deli slaps… so good! We also like when the staff is genuinely having fun. Thanks for the review!
@@shazshaz8821 The food at the Havana Bar is included (empanadas, Cuban sandwiches, etc). Over at the Blue Iguana, you can get tacos and burritos… and those are included also! 😋
I was on the Carnival Sunshine June 2022, and I saw a few Baconators at the breakfast buffet, with plates of nothing but bacon, piled high. C'mon! I love bacon, too, but nobody needs to eat 2 pounds of it at one meal! 😄 So now, we're gonna get rationed.

yall are hilarious...love it...i hope our sunshine time is better , but, bacon and popcorn, are must haves on vacay !!!!
Yes bacon and popcorn ARE must haves… happy to have a fellow traveler agree!! We really did enjoy the Sunshine and hope you do too 😁

Oh my goodness… thank you for your kind words!! This is what we love to do… so happy that our passion shines through. Have you cruised before???
New sub!! Love your energy!
Hey thanks for joining us our fun journey!!
Awesome
Thanks!!
He'll yeah bacon thing pissed me off too
Ha! 😆
Absolutely, Havana Bar is amazing. Great staff, always ate from omelet bar, pizzeria, and the Deli, great Reubens. Bar staff at Havana is great.
Yes!!! Another foodie at heart 😁
@@Taste-Try-Travel Absolutely right Also had the $18. meal at jijis it was amazing.
I cruised the Mardi Gras in July and they only serve bacon every other day, I was disappointed about that too. On the Celebration last year and Mardi Gras the sea day brunch was good, but the buffet on both were underwhelming
Bacon at a cruise breakfast is every person’s god-given right! Pretty sure it’s in the Constitution somewhere. 🤪☺️🤪
I enjoyed the video!
Yes!! We love to hear that! Thank you! 😊

Nice video. Carnival has definitely clamped down on bacon and food options. Couldn’t agree more about deli, Havana Bar area, and water pressure! 😂
Ah hey there Mike… yeah I figured we would be on the same page with a lot of those!!! Seriously no bacon????? Can they even be called a cruise ship now? Ha ha 😎
yall are funny!!
Thanks! We’re weirdos who love having a blast on the high seas! 😊🤪😊

The popcorn wouldn’t even be a huge expense for us… maybe next time we’ll bring our own and make enough for everyone😜!
Great video : ) The Havana bar .. is the food included .. like the fish tacos or is that extra ?
@@shazshaz8821 The food at the Havana Bar is included (empanadas, Cuban sandwiches, etc). Over at the Blue Iguana, you can get tacos and burritos… and those are included also! 😋
What is YTD?

Yikes!! That might be the reason we are being punished now 🥲
I can’t tell if this is for real, or a Fargo fan fiction skit🤔
I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance... 🤷
Wow. Rationing food and nickle and diming does not bode well. Stay away!
Yeah those are bummer parts but it does balance out in the end and we had a great week!! 😊
