Review summary

The Carnival Sunshine is a nice ship. It was going to move to South Carolina after our cruise. I believe the crew felt as if they didn't have to work anymore. They did more talking to each other than to the guests. There were very bad attitudes in almost every area, except for the main dining room and entertainment. The Guys Burger people and the Sweet Spot crew were the worst. If I were just a one time cruiser I probably would not be justified, but I am at the Platinum level as were two more of my fellow friends. We all thought the same. Love Carnival but not the Sunshine crew.

This was the most fun. Three of my traveling friends were in the VIP show. It was good and entertaining. The entertainment staff was so friendly and accommodating. The Motown show was also very good.

No kids with me

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Waiters [ - excellent. Room stewards started out fair, but became accommodating. I felt this crew were only interested in each other. They were rude, didn't offer the service I am used to getting on Carnival. Had to make complaints.

My cabin was not clean. There was feces around the edge of the bed. The shower curtain very dirty. It was corrected immediately.
