Review summary

Great cruise on a ship, Carnival Sunshine, that I looked forward to for many years! First cruise that I have gone on and had less enjoyment, primarily because of the location of our rooms at the back of the ship! I should have gone with my gut instinct and not accepted anything less than a midship room location!

3 out of 5

The room was very comfortable but it was located at the very back of the cruise ship. Not only was it noisy at night but we heard all the noises of the motor or cruise mechanics which caused us not to be able to sleep. The first 2 nights I got a headace and the rest of the nights I had to sleep with the TV on to try and drown out the noises of being located at the back of the ship. The experiences were the same for my traveling companions, David Rice in Room 2345 and Sandra Cunning and Linda Roberts in Room 2353.

Ship tip

Don't accept a room at the back of the ship! Too noisy and you won't be able to sleep.

The back has more things going on. You hear a lot more noise from them.

What to expect if you're at the back of the ship?

I like to book forward closets to mid. I also look at the layout and make sure the cabin has cabins on both decks above and below. Stay away from entertainment areas and the galley.
