Review summary

The ship was overall dirty and not very well maintained.....the crew were rude and lacking customer service skills.  Several dissatisfied onboard long lines to resolve complaints.  We have cruised with Carnival 8 times and this was a very rare exception for the condition of the ship and crew. The carnival island port visit was a waste of time.  Also the Park West folks are a rip off....they have this scam contest to guess the retail price of a Peter max art work...i guess the price exactly then they tell you you won a work of art, you go to pick it out then they want to charge you to have it framed $250.00 or $35.00 to have it tube shipped....just a scam....i told them to keep it.

I didn't say getting something for nothing. 17.50 and in the continental United States including Puerto Rico. Park West is based in Michigan, they should be able to send priority mail for less than 35.00. He's right, it's a scam

From where to where alanna47. Do you ever see process and handling charges from other venues. You don't get something for nothing, ever, I get tired of people dissing anything that is good and making it bad because they are not getting a free ride.

Insured shipping should cost no more than 17.50. That's how much the large priority rate shipping container is for USPS.

250 for museum quality frame and 35 for insured shipping will be very reasonable.

No problem with opinions but the line is crossed when you start being derogatory, ie jack----.

He's not wrong. The Sunshine was the worst ship. I think the workers thought they were on vacay too. Long lines for drinks, slow dining service. Let this person have an opinion.

Loved the sunshine, staff was fantastic. Front desk was always helpful with attending to our needs.
