Review summary

The Carnival Sunshine is one of the hidden treasures of the cruise line. Customer Service, food, entertainment and hospitality were great. This was one of the best experiences that we have had on Carnival ship. I would have rated it excellent, but we had a small problem with our dinning time.

Dinning Manager Manuela, waiters Damir and Nikoleta in Cucina del Capitano. Room Stewart Gusti. Arman Food OP Manager and Maitred Sunset dinning Erol, and the Maitred in Fagrenheit 555 Steakhouse and her entire staff. I would also like to say thank you to Winsint Botha, Guest Service Manager and a special thank you to Claudia, Guest Service Supervisor for the way she took care us. Truly the staff we came in contact with made our cruise a pleasure.

Ship tip

Don't just limit yourself to eating in the dinning room or at the buffet. The specialty restaurant give you a different dinning experience.

So excited,going on the Sunshine for 13 days,starting February 21!!💃🏽💃🏽Its great to hear good reviews.We've always loved late dining time and going every night to dining room with the exception of a couple specialty restaurants.Love getting to know others at our table and the wait staff.Have formed some great friendships this way.Its one of the main highlights of our cruising experience.😊

Where do you go on deck 5 to get the ticket? What time can you start getting tickets? It was not a ticket process on our last cruise.

next time do my time dining. you go to deck 5 and get a ticket and take it to the dining room and be seated. one time we had to wait about 20 minutes, but that was it.
