Embarkation
5 out of 5
Charleston has it down pat! Lines looked so overwhelming but we literally zoomed right through with no problems! On to the next line to get onto the ship and yes there was a wait but who cares when you have paradise waiting at the end!!!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We grabbed some cereal and off course cookies and milk for our room off the buffet but never used it other than that! Really no need! With all the other food options we really didn't have a desire for the buffet! At our late dining at 8:15 every evening we were treated like family and Hendro and his team were beyond amazing! Brunch was amazing also! Bonsai charges for their food and we ate there twice and would do it again! Best sushi ever! The pizza bar, the sandwich shop, Italian restaurant, JiJi's, Guys burgers every single place was delish!!!!

Ship tip
If you don't sail on the Carnival Sunshine then you haven't lived!!!
Loved this stop! We done the excursion for Casa En La Playa and let me just say it was amazing! 20 minute bus ride away the crowds and about 25 of us had our own private beach house, chef and bartender! It was unlimited drinks and food! The meal was one of the best I have ever had! "Mama" was so wonderful and made us all feel like we were part of her family!!!
Going on my 2nd and wifes 1st will imagine after this she will bitten by cruise bug like I have lucky her she gets Allure of the Seas for her 1st. Though I had great time on Carnival Sunshine for my 1st.
