Join us as we visit the Bahamas Emergency Hostel/Orphanage and set sail to ‘Cruise for a Cause’ with the 2020 North Carolina International Pageant taking place on board!
We’ll have breakfast Orientation on board Friday, April 24th, spend a few hours volunteering at the Bahamas orphanage on Saturday, April 25th, with our pageant taking place Sunday, April 26th. All areas of competition and the pageant format for the Contestants will remain the same as previous years. We will have a separate link for pageant entry fees for Contestants.
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 WaterWorks, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide. 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.
The North Carolina International Pageant System has established itself as an organization with integrity, high ethical standards, and consistent application of its rules and regulations. They plan to visit the Bahamas Children's Emergency Hostel once again, volunterring their time and being a blessing to the beautiful children in the orphanage!

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, BlueIguana Cantina, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse and JiJi Asian Kitchen. Some of the greatest Carnival bars are here: RedFrog Pub, BlueIguana Tequila Bar, SkyBox Sports Bar and Alchemy Bar... plus the already-classic Havana Bar! You'll enjoy musical revues 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.

Price: $402+ gov’t taxes/person, double occupancy - Your cruise fare includes the Pageant ticket as well.
Ocean View
Catch a glimpse of what's going by from your Ocean View stateroom aboard Carnival Sunshine, where you'll get views you won’t find anywhere on land. Don’t miss sunrise and sunset at sea — your comfy stateroom is the best way to experience these!
Price: $472+ gov’t taxes/fees per person, double occupancy - Your cruise fare includes the Pageant ticket as well.
Balcony
Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you're looking to cruise aboard Carnival Sunshine.
