Review summary

The Carnival Sunrise is a horrible ship. It was overcrowded and has a horrible layout. If it was not for our wait staff, band, and performers our holiday family vacation would have been a huge disappointment.

The dining room experience with our servers made our trip enjoyable. Shashank was amazing. The food was great. The buffet lines were always 20+ people in line. Overcrowded and horrible layout to get food.

The Sunshine Rock band with Emily and Brad made our trip memorable. They were not only amazing but friendly and personable. Elisa was outstanding on piano. Liam from productions was wonderful too.
