We have decided to get married aboard the Carnival Sunshine on a five day cruise leaving from Norfolk, VA. The cruise will depart on June 9th, 2017 and we are hoping each of you will take a vacation with us. We will get married on an at sea day aboard the ship. It will be a quick ceremony performed by the ships captain and there will be a one hour reception afterwards. The rest of the cruise will be a vacation for all. We would be honored if you would join us and help make our wedding special.

The Carnival Sunshine will leave from Norfolk, VA and make two stops in the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport). There are lots of excursions in these ports such as shopping, off shore fishing, swimming with dolphins, and many more. You can also explore on your own or stay on the ship. The ship has water slides, golf, video arcades, pools, day care, nightly shows, and a casino. There is always something to keep you entertained. Beware there is an unlimited amount of amazing food. There is a burger joint, pizza, steak house, sushi, comfort food, milkshake shop, sweets place, coffee bar, and the list goes on.... You must check out all of the You Tube videos of this ship.

Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun, and there's plenty atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun. There's the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival WaterWorks, our onboard waterpark, packs both favorites and awesome new slides — like the slick Speedway Splash — you haven't seen anywhere yet. There's also SportSquare, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse SkyCourse high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.

Step out of the sun and try out some shade (and it's some pretty cool shade, at that). The first thing you'll see is the Sunshine Atrium... and let's just say first impressions count. From there, check out dining options — this ship has everything under the Carnival sun — like Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse and Ji Ji Asian Kitchen. All the latest Carnival bars are here: RedFrog Pub, BlueIguana Tequila Bar, EA SPORTS Bar and Alchemy Bar... plus the already-classic Havana Bar! You'll enjoy musical revues up on stage from Playlist Productions, while Hasbro, The Game Show gets cruisers like you up on stage, competing in larger-than-life family favorites come to life.

When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine, fun at sea is guaranteed.
