Review summary

If Carnival is trying to save money by cutting food quality, they are going about it the wrong way. I saw more food thrown on this cruise then I ever have. It was nasty. I don’t ever plan on cruising with Carnival again and there were many more on this cruise that felt the same way.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Dining room menu was very limited and food was terrible. I had to go to the deli to eat afterwards because food was inedible 3 out of 5 nights

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Very few shows were scheduled and some canceled due to weather

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Staffing was undermanned and looked exhausted. Leo. The cruise director was great and so was Barbara from the fun department

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Handrails on steps we’re always sticky. I realize it’s an older ship but it really needs a lot of work.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was good and steward did a great job

Ship tip

I don’t plan on ever going back. This was my third cruise on the Sunshine and with each cruise, quality downgrades was very noticeable.
