I'm confused as well been on the Sunshine a couple of times would go back again and again. Entertainment options wonderful cruise director terrific food awesome lots of choices....I have been on over 30 cruises you can't compare...I have been on high end and in between but prefer Carnival for variety price and most important...Fun ...Carnival for Life!!! You guys rock

Food OK??? There are so many different places to eat and they are all great. How in the world can the Southern. Caribbean ports be disappointing ? They are beautiful..."They tried????" Carnival staff are the best. We love the Sunshine and Carnival.....

We didn't have a problem with the anytime dining either and definitely used it " anytime"

Last month for us as well and it was an amazing trip! We went to same ports as you and can't wait wait to go back for a second and third look...especially Grand Turk...so beautiful. The Sunshine has her quirks with the redo but all in all a lovely ship, especially the Serenity decks. But, to each his or her own...

What do you mean by the ship was so so? What were your expectations? What ports did you go to? Any time dining confusing? It's simple, go to deck 5 and get a ticket then go to deck 3 and be seated, was that to confusing for you? What other ships are you comparing the entertainment to? Be honest so we can compare for ourselves. We just got off the Sunshine 2 weeks ago, we had a great time with none of your complaints.
