Carnival Sunshine was the first cruise ship I've been on. I must say it was amazing. I absolutely enjoyed everything about the ship. It has amenities for everyone regardless of the age & offered various activities. You will not be dissapointed, trust me!

I did not want to get off the ship. The experience was by far amazing. I am soooo ready to go back and see what else is out in the world to explore. My first time out of the country but will not be my last.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
JiJi Asian Kitchen
Taste like PF Changs (a little). Something different, very elegant restaurant, good food.
Havana Bar
Nice drinks. The young waiter (guy from St. Lucia) was so lively.
Guy's Burger Joint
Best burgers and fries
Onboard Activities
Sunshine Casino
My husband and I stayed at the Casino. The bartenders were awesome and they were personable. They didn't know names but they would always remeber your face and your taste in drinks. Maya was the first bartender I met...she was my favorite. Then there were others that I cannot quite remember their names but they were all amazing. The casino was also like a "real" casino. There were so many slot machines and game tables etc. This is also a place where smoking is allowed in certain areas of the casino. So if you are a smoker (I am not but the hubby is) then you would probably spend much of your time in the casino...trust me.
Entertainment
Liquid Lounge
The club was lit. I cannot explain nightlife on a ship. But if you are interested in some good music and dancing. Liquid lounge is the place to go. Trust me.

Ship tip
Enjoy the experience. Also if you are going to have fun and want a few drinks purchase the cheers package (much better) prior to embarkation day. Also pay your gratuitiy fees prior to trip so no additional fees will be added on the end. My husband and I paid ours prior to the trip but others that we went with did not and they had issues with their accounts. Overall have fun!!!!
