Welcome to Carnival Cruise Life
Hi there, and welcome to Carnival Cruise Life! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Sherrie, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I absolutely love cruising. The ocean, the ships, the destinations, the food, the CASINO & the fun—every part of the cruise experience feels like home to me.
My love for cruising started over 25 years ago, and since then it has only grown. With every sailing, every port adventure, and every new ship I explore, I fall even more in love with the energy, excitement, and freedom that a Carnival vacation brings. Whether it’s the thrill of stepping aboard, the joy of that first sea day, or the beautiful memories created at each new destination, cruising has become one of the biggest passions in my life.
SEAS THE DAY
We've come a long way
After sharing so many cruise tips, photos, and stories with friends and followers, I decided to create Carnival Cruise Life—a place where I can bring all of my experiences together and help others enjoy the magic of cruising just as much as I do.
Here, you’ll find:
Honest reviews and personal stories from my sailings
Helpful guides to make your cruise easier and more enjoyable
Tips for first-time cruisers
Detailed ship and destination insights
Fun inspiration for planning your next Carnival adventure
I created this blog (and our Facebook community) because cruising isn’t just a vacation—it’s a lifestyle. It’s a place to relax, reconnect, explore, and make memories that last a lifetime. And I love helping others discover that same joy.
Whether you’re planning your very first cruise or you’ve already sailed dozens of times, I hope this space makes you feel welcome, inspired, and excited for your next journey.
Thanks for being here… and I can’t wait to share the waves, the sunshine, and the Carnival fun with you! 🚢✨🌴

My Love for the Carnival Casino
Another big part of my cruise life—and one of the places you can almost always find me onboard—is the Carnival Casino. I absolutely love the energy, excitement, and nonstop fun the casino brings to every sailing. Whether it's the sound of the slot machines, the friendly dealers, or the thrill of hitting a great hand, the casino has become one of my favorite places to unwind and enjoy myself at sea.
My two casino loves?
🎰 Slots – I’ll admit it… I’m a slot girl at heart! There’s nothing like sitting down, picking a machine, and seeing what kind of luck the night brings. From old favorites to brand-new games, I love trying them all.
♣️ 3 Card Poker – This is my game. It’s fast, it’s fun, and the table vibes are always amazing. Winning a solid hand or catching a bonus just adds to the cruise-night excitement!
Over time, my Casino play has earned me a spot as an “Echo” level guest, one of Carnival’s highest tiers for top players. It's such an honor, and it comes with some pretty great perks—like special offers, exclusive invitations, and those amazing casino rates that make it even easier to book another cruise (as if I needed an excuse!).
For me, the casino isn’t just about playing—it’s about the atmosphere, the people, the laughter, the late-night wins, and the unforgettable memories created along the way. It’s all part of my Carnival Cruise Life, and I love sharing that side of the experience with others who enjoy a little fun and luck on the high seas.
