Review summary

We love cruising, but was bummed that we didn’t get to go to Bermuda. We have been to Nassau way too many times. It is our least favorite port. Princess Cays was okay, but my husband does not like laying out, so we just walked around on the sidewalks. You could not walk on the beach because of the rocks. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment. Our cruise director was good. We got to meet the captain and go on the bridge, which was amazing. All the staff on the Sunshine is super nice. Loved the positive atmosphere.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

There were lots of people heading out, but they had three lines going out. It went very fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Some days our food was delicious and some days not so good. Mainly because food that should be warm was kinda cold. We had some awesome food in the dining room.

Bonsai Sushi

Our sushi was delicious! It was well worth the money.

Ocean Plaza

12 to 2 Band was absolutely the best entertainment on the ship.

Onboard Activities

I am a sixty year old female that loved laying out by the pool area and the Serenity. I loved the Serenity areas that are on the Carnival Sunshine.

I had an amazing facial. My face glowed for days.

Loved the three floors of the Serenity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment was the best we’ve heard on any of our seven cruises. Crystal and Marion from 12 to 2 Band were our favorites.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

They were all great, but we did notice that Carnival has cut back on their employees. It just seemed like it took longer to get our food in the dining room. Our room steward, Emerson was awesome!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I loved that the water park was separated from the pool area.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

First of all, we loved having a balcony. Our bed was very comfortable. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because our bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work and every time we lifted the lid of the toilet it smelled like urine.
