Review summary

I was bored a lot. Not too much to do except lay by the pool. The pool was very crowded and the music was too loud. I got in the pool once. The water was a little murky and I felt gross when I got out. In the afternoon there isn’t even room to get into the water. I had a hard time finding someplace quiet out on deck. The only place was with the smokers. Food was just ok. The shows were great and totally worth going to.

Food and Dining

The food was just ok. Not great. The best food is Guy Fieri’s burgers on the Lido deck near the pool

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I was mostly bored. A lot of the activities cost a lot. The bingo game was $20-40! For 3 games! The shows were awesome however. Very professional.

Ship tip

Make sure your credit card has lots of room on it. Drinks are expensive. The casino sucks your money as does activities such as bingo

I am surprised about the boring...I would recommend a morning show or the shopping show free give aways. Or karaoke is fun to watch. The piano bar or penny slots. Gosh I could go on.

We always found a seat on Serenity and never too loud since no kids allowed. Gotta explore the boat.

Sorry you did not have a great time. The pool on the Lido is crowded. Serenity pool never seemed crowded on our cruise. If Guys was the best food you had, sad. As for the price for a drink, standard pricing for a cruise ship or a nice land based bar. I've never been bored on a cruise. I am not working, can eat something when I want, have an alcoholic beverage at breakfast or just relax. There are plenty of quiet places on the Sunshine, you just need to look. I have been on

I love when people complain of places being crowded. You are the crowd.

Best cruise ever .but we love all of our cruises with carnival.It was a family cruise and celebrating my 40th birthday..

Just ok.

We Loved cruising on the Carnival Sunshine a few weeks ago! This was our first cruise and the Sunshine did not disappoint! We enjoyed our Balcony room so much, and staying on the Lido Deck is def a PLUS! So close to all the action! We will be back soon!
