Carnival Sunshine

7 Night Bermuda (Charleston Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 28, 2019

Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

We had a great cruise and overall really enjoyed the Sunshine. When we go back on it we will definitely get an aft cabin. It seemed all we wanted to do was mostly middle or aft. Clarification on the debarkation, is that more people drive to a Charleston than any other port and everyone brings the kitchen sink since they are driving. Thus the slow debark and they as much as told us that at the meeting the last sea day. Biggest tips are pack so you can carry off your own bags, and go to the Havana bar restaurants day 1 and two.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest of any port we have been out of. Could ask no more.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We loved Ji Ji’s For supper. We went 3 times! All else was standard Carnival and good as usual.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Best band we have seen. They were great. They covered the 70s all the way to more current pop and rock.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent as usual

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout of the ship is a little corky in that only certain levels go front to back, but the Havana Bar in the back behind the Lido was a great go to place. Only busy at lunch on Sea days. It’s almost empty after 230 and there is plenty of space. We spent a lot of time there.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the corner aft balcony. Not a suite, and did miss that a bit but no fault on that to Carnival

Ship tip

Repeat this 3 times. Have lunch at the Havana Bar at either the Mongolian Wok, or Italian, the FIRST TWO days. After that the lines will be a mile long.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

Disembarkation

Compared to Florida ports this just seemed to be SLOW. Next time out of Charleston we will pack as if we flew and self debark.
