Review summary

We have been on many cruises before, and the Carnival Sunshine was by a mile our favorite ship!  There was so much to do on board the ship.  The renovation was well worth the expense.  We are looking at booking on the Sunshine again very soon.  Our only complaint (as it has been on all of our Carnival Cruises) was the entertainment.  There is not enough family friendly entertainment on the ship.  We enjoyed the magician, but otherwise, costuming, jokes, and subject material was often inappropriate and offensive to even the adults in our group.  That being said, we were finally on a ship that had plenty of other things to do besides attend the nightly shows.  An awesome trip!

Good balanced review! It is a pleasure to read a review that is neither just a bunch of fluff nor a scathing diatribe of complaints. The overall experience is what I am looking for. If the cruise has the right itinerary, plenty to do on ship, decent food, and a comfortable place to sleep, I can forgive a less-than-spectacular show.
