Very happy to have cruised with Carnival Sunshine twice now. Love the size of the ship, activities, and ports of call. Will probably cruise again in the future.

All of the food was great. Sometimes the Lido Marketplace food was a little cold but other than that, it was all good.

Satisfied with the musical and comedy shows.

Appreciate taking the time for the feedback. Just shows how you can't take reviews one way or the other you have to judge for yourself. My wife and I absolutely dislike this ship and think it's too crowded. All the common areas are horribly crowded
