Review summary

The ports is what attracted us to this cruise.  We had been on Carnival Sunshine two years ago and enjoyed the ship.  However, didn't enjoy it so much this time.  The anytime dining experience was poor each and every night.  We had to wait at least 30 minutes any given night for bread and never got out of the dining room in under 2 hours. Service was terrible.  However, in 2014 service in the anytime dining was very good.  Something definitely had changed!  We had a small snafu twice.  For instance, we handed Elena our pager but she gave our dining ticket to another waiter who took another couple.  We kept telling her that she took our pager --so she had another waiter seat us, but the table was already being used by the previous couple. They had got the table that was meant for us.  We did get a tray of goodies delivered to our room the next day with a thank you note.  But again, it was the service in the dining room that was horrible.

The one pool area was way too small for the number of guests! There was the Serenity deck--but the regular pool area was jammed packed full and was just too small for the size of ship and guests.

Cabin / Stateroom

Smaller than previous inside cabins. The room steward was really great!

Ship tip

Be aware of the small pool area!
