The summer is quickly approaching and one of my favorite things to do is take a wonderful cruise and eat delectable foods where the tropical breezes make any day perfect. Well, now you can experience a full sushi restaurant on the new Carnival Breeze beginning in June. Bonsai Sushi boasts to be the next generation of onboard “seafood-and-soy-sauce spot.” Bonsai delivers a unique experience: dine amidst expertly pruned bonsai trees while enjoying festive koi kite celebrations, sit-down service and an affordable menu of delectable catches.
