I agree with you. I went on the sunshine once and said never again. Loved the ports of call but not the ship. But everyone has their favorite!!

You dont have to walk through the casino theres other ways to get around. Looks like you will be trying another line or flying because unless going out of nyc the sunshine is the best carnival ship driving distance from you. We loved the Sunshine best ship out of the 5 we went on.

What about parking at the terminal?? Was it ok? Expensive? How far a walk to terminal? My sister has bad knees so I try to keep her rested as much as possible!!
