Review summary

I love the Carnival Sunshine. The ship is large and very clean. Nowhere was too crowded. We stayed in a balcony stateroom on the Lido deck #9214. Perfect location. The only downside is that there are never any cabanas available in the Adult Serenity Deck because people leave the cabanas but leave their personal belongings behind to hold their spot.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward was nice but I did leave tips. I can't remember the bartenders name but I was pregnant and could not drink so he made me non alcoholic drinks and remembered us throughout the cruise

I cruised in November 2015 and we had a balcony stateroom on the Lido deck....besides people holding the cabanas on the serenity deck, this cruise was great

Adult pool was standing room only......very small ...never again on sunshine....first day never got our luggage till 830pm....and friends of ours got there luggage at 11pm. Ran out of budweiser by third day.....by 5th day java cafe ran out of vanilla ice cream and root beer soda. Java cafe is open till 11pm but at 1035pm when i went to get coffee i was told last call is 1030...and the buffet that is put out at 1130 is so small....with not much on it....and a long line

If a cabana or chair is vacant more than 40 minutes..the pool cops will remove their items so be on the lookout

You have to get one early in the day as possible. We never get a cabana either. The same thing happens to us. My husband and I loved the Sunshine too!
