Review summary
This was our 21st cruise, 5th with Carnival & the worst. Food in buffet well below standard and area too small for that many passengers. Guys Burger, the Deli and the pizzeria were nice alternatives for dinner. Ship so cold noticed others needed sweaters too. Anytime dining -stand in line each night to get piece of paper with number of people then take 2 decks down to dining room. Breakfast buffet same every morning. The rough, rainy weather caused changes to stage show which was disappointing but understood why dancing cancelled. The psycadelic light show with lazers was fantastic. Also Chris the flying Scotsman cruise director was outstanding with his singing and dancing & being all over the ship. Cabin steward Ehkwan was great. Comedy shows my favorite. This was the ship for trivia fans as had trivia 3 times a day. Crew always friendly, smiling.

It's winter. I've needed to purchase a sweater before because I didn't pack one. I've seen people wearing their robes because they were cold but being on a cruise and being a little a cold beats sitting at home in front of the fireplace.

We will be on the Sunshine in a couple of months, so I appreciate reading different opinions about the ship. I often find the indoor ares to be chilly so I'm prepared for that. It seems you enjoyed many of the activities and the crew and am surprised that you rated your cruise so low. Thanks for posting your review.
