Review summary

the ship was a little small, however the lines for food were not long and you could get in to see every show without a long wait or only having standing room only. food was good, guy's burgers are the best!!

Embarkation

the ship was nice, a bit small with a lot of movement while at sea; I believe this is due to this being an older ship.

Sunshine was the worst ship!!!! Won't sail it again We have been on many Carnival Ships and the Sunshine is way to small for the amount of passengers. We always get a suite and it was small compared to other Carnivals

Strange review.....says no lines to get into any show and then say they didn't see any shows so how would they know. Sunshine is definitely not a small ship......4000 plus

I was on this ship twice when it was the Destiny. Then it had a complete overhaul with an additional deck added. I didn't think it seemed small then, so am anxious to see it now. Sailing it next January.

Very first cruise

Wonderful family trip

Inexpensive cruise, but a lot of things suffer for obtaining the low price.
