Prizes will be given out
70's Night: There may be a MOTOWN Party on this sailing. If there is that will suffice for our 70's night. But if they do not have a Motown Night WE WILL DEFINITELY BE HAVING A 70'S NIGHT.

Spades at Sea: Who Got Game? Two Tables playing at the same time with a waitlist for Who Got Next! Spades rules will be discussed by the players at the table prior to each game. This is not a tournament, but it is a fun way to enhance your days at sea. (The day of this event will be confirmed upon boarding.

Family Feud: Carnival usually always has Family Feud... I will scope this out before the Meet and Greet and we can agree if we want to play or not. I think this will be hilarious and a fun thing to do.
Carnival Sunshine
-
Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun. There's plenty to find atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun. Visit the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival Water Works™, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide. There's also Sport Square™, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse the Ropes Course high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.
When you're on your Carnival Sunshine cruise, 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™, Blue Iguana Cantina™, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and JiJi Asian Kitchen®. Some of the greatest Carnival bars are here: Red Frog Pub®, Blue Iguana Tequila Bar™, Sky Box™ Sports Bar and Alchemy Bar®... plus the already-classic Havana Bar™! You'll enjoy musical revues from Playlist Productions™, where songs you know and love come to life on stage.
When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine, fun at sea is guaranteed.
