Review summary

Wonderful ship and crew with great destinations which made this cruise one we will never forget!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
No problems with transportation to Port Canaveral from Orlando airport. First experience with "faster to the fun", very fast check in and boarding ship only hitch was our luggage was late getting to our rooms.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets we great as always only issue was in the main dinning with seating. Had a group of fellow passengers which would not share our assigned table. The maitred' corrected the the situation and seated us at another table.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Emma was the cruise director on the Sunshine at the time of our sailing. She kept us all busy with several activities we did enjoy the pool, trivia, music, and karaoke.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
DJ's are always great on Carnival ships, shows were great especially the love and marriage show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff was great in every area of the ship and made our overall experience that much better!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Sunshine is a retrofit and used to be the Carnival Destiny. The redesign is great with the best serenity deck we have ever seen. This ship has the largest serenity deck with a waterfall, huge deck overlooking the entire Lido pool area (Mid-ship). The Sunshine was very clean in all areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a standard interior stateroom with a "king size" bed and a small fridge. Room was kept very clean by our great room steward.

Ports of call

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Great beaches and shopping also have some of the best beach bars we have seen. Great weather and the water was beautiful.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Great transportation around the island, great shops, and the people are very friendly. Beautiful location.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Grand Turk is always a beautiful location to visit and speaks for itself. We always enjoy Margaritaville and the few shops close by. A great place to eat while at this port is Jack's Shack which is just down the beach from Margaritaville.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Crew always makes this process very smooth but as always anyone who cruises knows it is hard to leave.
