Review summary
I don't know if my expectations were too high or what I was expecting as this was only my second cruise. The boat to me was nice I enjoyed the adults only area on the upper deck. The waterslides on the boat were cool concept The kids really love this area. The entertainment was not what I was expecting there was a couple of shows but not a wide variety of choices. I did like the comedy shows . As far as the food and service most of the time we had to get her own drinks while laying out on the deck there were never enough servers to accommodate the crowd. The bartenders on the deck we're not very nice or eager to help. The deck bars with close in the afternoons at 5 o'clock. The two times we ate in the formal dining room The service was very slow not friendly and the food was terrible . And as far as the buffets the meats and fish seem to be the same every day there was never a good variety in my opinion. The best part of the food to me was the guy Fery burger joint they were great! There were other options to eat on the boat but those restaurants were an extra charge everyone in my group said they had never heard of that before ... All in all I had a good time but I will never Cruise on the Carnival sunshine again....

Gellmore. The review was not "bad and unfair" it was Chuck5511 opinion of his cruise. You were not in his cabin with his dining staff on the exact cruise so you do not know what he experienced.
I have been on a cruise where I had a great time and a buddy of mine did not because of all the trouble he had with his cabin and cabin steward (a/c not working well, sink not draining, TV remote not working, room key card not working and cabin steward not doing anything to fix the issues) you can not discount his opinion because on a different cruise you had a good time.
Not all Ships have extra pay restaurants, Older Carnival ships like the Imagination only have the MDR, Buffet and pool side grill, no steak house on that ship.
