Review summary

Love the Carnival Sunshine and Nassau. One thing that would have made the cruise better, is if it was 100% smokefree. Also, the bubbles package would have been great, but you have to get your sodas from the bars and the bar tenders seem to ignore you. Carnival needs to installself service soda machines. Over all a wonderful cruise.

Would give five stars here, but we were on deck 5 and had to go through the casino when going to or from our cabin and the casino was is a smoking area. Not a good experience for people who like clean air. They should put up a class wall separating the walk way from the casino.

Great place to walk and explorer. Pirate museum was great. Try the rum cake, it's delicious. Friendly locals.

Mikeman1, we were in 5347, great room with large balcony. The smoke wasn't a problem in the room. To avoid the casino you have to go up to the next deck (6) or down to deck 4, but if there is am event going on at the Limelight lounge then you can't pass through on deck 4. Hope your cruise is great.

We will be on that floor too. What was your room number? Ya I'm afraid of that too with smoke carrying through the ship. Ours is or will be 5343

Agreed. Or better ventilation as we found smoke smell would definitely waft over to the Java Blue Cafe. Adam the Cruise Director was great and worked it hard. Agreed 1000% on Bottomless Bubbles. Better if there were Soda Machines on Lido where folks could swipe their S and S cards to access...instead of walking outside to the bar or Havanna Bar.

I really enjoyed this cruise with my children. This was their first cruise. Loved the Cruise Director Adam. Lots to do, food was great.

Had so much fun. All the crew were very friendly. Had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. All the food was delicious and delightful. The entertainment was awesome.
