Book a balcony cabin or suite if you need to escape the crowds breakfast and lunch in the dining room or speciality restaurant is much more relaxing than braving the buffet.
The downside of all the bustle is that it's hard to find quiet. There are musical shows and guest performers, a lively casino, outdoor movies, deck parties, bars with live music and comedy that ranges from family-friendly to R-rated. If you're into sunning and swimming, you can join the crowds on the pool deck, or find a comfy day bed on the adults-only Serenity Deck. If you prefer a few thrills, you can race down a water slide, traverse a ropes course or challenge a friend to a basketball game. If you like group activities, you can bounce from trivia to bingo to crafts to a bean bag toss competition all in the course of a few hours. It bustles day and night, with constant activity. The 2,984-passenger Carnival Sunrise is NOT a quiet ship.
