Review summary

This was our second time sailing on Carnival Sunshine. Next year, if the itinerary changes, we will choose this ship again!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
This was our first experience cruising from Charleston and the process wasn't as smooth as it is at other ports. Also, we were left standing in line along the street waiting for approval to sail due to the coronavirus.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We have always selected a dining time in the past. This cruise, we chose your time dining. It was the same food, but the atmosphere was a little different. It was convenient, but not as personal.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Due to the coronavirus, Carnival was obsessive about cleaning. We couldn't turn around without bumping into a hand sanitizer station. One morning, a Carnival employee, stood outside the buffet area guarding the door. He would not open the door until each person washed their hands for 12 seconds in front of him.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was our first experience in a serenity cabin. Going forward, if we aren't cruising with our children, we will always choose this area. It wasn't as convenient when riding elevators, but it was worth the longer wait time!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

4 out of 5
Beautiful city. I wish we could have spent more time there.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We spent the day at the beach, which was beautiful. I probably won't choose this port for future cruises. I was overwhelmed getting off the boat. I felt like we were attack by local citizens, trying to sell us goods and services.
