Review summary

Punchliners comedy club was the best part about this cruise. Saint Johns is a cold sad place. Temperatures barely 65 in late june. Carnival should have placed a ship with a solarium on this itinerary. Pools were empty, hot tubs crowded and people shivering. If you don't care about the destination it ok for a cheap get away.

Don't expect a Canadian cruise to be like a Caribbean cruise...so totally different.....laid back...cooler weather...less partying type cruise...

This was my first time on the Sunshine and an love it! The ship is beautiful, lots of entertainment and the food was very good. Canada was very cold but I had the time of my life dancing Spanish music every night in the Havana and sharing this with eight family members. The four nights left me wanting more and I'm already book for the 8 nights Eastern Caribbean next Monday, a free cruise for two.

If you look it gives you the average temperature this time of year. So you can look it up & know what to expect. You want warm weather you go to the Caribbean or Bahamas

We went In August it was quite warm on the way there while there a little breezy but your going to Canada what do you expect we lived Saint John people were awesome and inviting our tour to the bay of fundy was great it's completely different than the Caribbean but a nice trip

3 stars for cold weather? Did you eat? Was your cabin OK? We're your room stewards attentive??? So much more.

July not a good time to cruise to Canada if you want warmth. That was my first cruise a few years ago on the 4th of July. We left from New York, it was cold and a very "bumpy" ride.

Agreed! I'd rather be cold on a cruise ship than warm at home 😂😂

I believe this review is about Canada. We did a 5 day 2011 in June and the weather was nice. We loved it. Everyone was so nice.

I was out in Mid May and the weather was hot. It was Nassau and Freeport though. You can't blame the cruise company for the weather
