Need app to get table for dinner. They say no reservation but you must request table, a lot of confusion in dining during the whole cruise. Service was also lacking in Sunrise.

On the sunshine the week before the food was the best I have had on 20 Carnival cruises. Request table on the app and it's ready when you walk up. Fast service and delicious.

Highly recommend the Carnival Sunshine and Port of Charleston. My wife and I took our preteen daughters on a four-day cruise to Nassau. Stayed in suite 9107 which has a floor-to-ceiling window instead of balcony. On our second day at sea saw dolphins

Great Service but Crazy Party Cruise, 2/27-3/2

Wonderful cruise. Very friendly people!
