I know… a cruise ship isn’t a travel destination. But, my family and I traveled on the Carnival Sunshine through Europe last year and the wonderful people at Carnival have invited us back to visit the ship at its new home, Port Canaveral. Also, did I mention that they’ll be taking us on a quick trip to the Bahamas? Oh Yeah!!
The Carnival Sunshine is a gorgeous ship and here are two of my favorite highlights:
1. The Red Frog Pub – A wonderful, laid back atmosphere and a fantastic island feel are the centerpiece to this watering hole. Throw in a great staff, some REAL good island inspired beverages and live music— this was where I hung out during most of my sea days. By the way, if beer is your thing, try their Thirsty Frog Red Ale. You can’t find it anywhere else and once I tried it, it quickly moved into my “Top 5” beers list.
2. Ji Ji Asian Kitchen – This is a really amazing restaurant. The menu literally takes you on a tour of Asia and all of its different cuisines. My wife and I ordered a little bit of everything and kind of created are own trip to southeast Asia. It’s a great place for a romantic dinner and the atmosphere lends itself to that. I will say, the service is some of the best I’ve ever experienced, EVER! When you go, make sure that you order the pork belly, it will change your life.
I’ll make sure to come back and let you know all the new things they’ve added, and hopefully I’ll have some beautiful pictures of the Bahamas for you. Bon Voyage!!!
Where is the Travel Bug itching to take you?!
