Carnival Sunshine to feature HUGE waterpark

One of the largest water parks ever on a cruise ship will debut in April on the Carnival Sunshine.
Carnival on Thursday announced the 2,642-passenger vessel's new deck-top WaterWorks area will be home to five water slides, including a 334-foot-long Twister slide that extends out over the edge of the ship.
The area also will have 40 interactive water features, including a 300-gallon "dump bucket" that will periodically drench park-goers.
The Twister slide will be Carnival's longest ever.

Bring your Wine on Board!

Great news for Royal Caribbean clients. Passengers can bring a maximum of two bottles of wine per cabin during embarkation. Bottles must be 750 ml each or smaller, and passengers who want to drink their wine in public spaces such as bars or restaurants must pay a $25 corkage fee per bottle. Each bottle must retain the original manufacturer's seal and exhibit no signs of tampering. Royal Caribbean joins other lines such as Holland America and Princess in allowing the two bottles of wine on embarkation.
