Carnival Sunshine Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was amazing and my first one. Getting in was so easy!

Cruise was awesome and we will definitely do it again. However, we left some personal items (birth certificates) behind and have been trying to get them back. No luck so far.

I enjoyed this cruise… I give it 5 stars!! From the time I stepped on the ship until the time I stepped off, nothing but entertainment, laughing, dancing to the staff that’s always smiling and treat you just like family. The delicious food to the beautiful islands.., I loved every minute of it.❤️

We won't sail with Carnival again, even if extra driving or flying to get to and from port is involved. Very disappointed in the overall quality, especially since we were so excited and had spent months paying toward.

We were tossed around like crazy the first night. My 18 year old wanted off the ship, and my 9 year old started throwing up. The next 2 days were a little smoother- BUT OVERCROWDED- and loud and rude people bumping into us and partying in the halls outside our rooms at all hours of the night. Also saw cabins occupied by only teenagers with no parents in sight- keeping us awake all night, banging on doors while they walked in groups up and down halls. My older sons are 22 and 18 and had their own cabin and it was like an act of congress for me to book that way and their cabin had to be near mine. People apparently found a loophole- because I saw unattended teens everywhere being obnoxious and nobody was supervising them. Had to spend alot of money to enjoy anything. Purchased 3 internet packages- and were unable to use internet in our cabins (over $200 for nothing).Half Moon Cay was magical and if we could have stayed there the entire time, we would have. Dinner at 555 Fahrenheit was incredible. Worth every penny. Waterslide area was fun for the boys. Pool was underwhelming, given this is a cruise ship and had 3,800 people on it. 20 people filled it up- and we never got to get in it. Aside from the steakhouse dinner and Half Moon Cay, I regret booking. I am still queasy 3 days after being home. Too much money for this experience- given the issues we had and the rough ride. and the hidden fees once on board will break the bank. This was an awful experience for us- and I am upset about it- because this was a special trip for me and my boys to celebrate a graduation and 2 birthdays- and making memories with them. A few good memories, but a long list of bad ones- were not worth what I paid. This has turned us against cruising ever again.

Fun and relaxing other than Half Moon Bay due to weather.

We had a great time with our kids on their first cruise!

We had fun.. The staff was awesome and fun to be around.

My friend and I had such a great time! The ship was so much fun, Bimini was beautiful, and we met so many amazing people! The service staff was some of the nicest I've ever met on a cruise. Darma is the best!

I would never recommend this ship to anyone and our storm experience was horrifying and was not handled properly by the ships captain or whoever else should have been updating all guests. 12 horrifying hours passed before any announcements to assure passengers safety. The captain should be fired!!

Understanding the difficulty given the crew with the weather conditions and strain on crew members doing as best as possible, we endured. The defined lack of communication and updating was very disruptive. Lack of communication leaves the customer in array and anger.

Not for people looking for a quiet, relaxing time. Staff good, fellow passengers rowdy. Moments of fun, but overall, stressful. Will upgrade to better line next time.

Nobody can control Mother Nature, however, the lack of communication to keep passengers informed in such a situation is disgusting. We were left for the entire night not knowing what kind of situation we were in. With a cabin floor covered in shattered glass it was a little unnerving to say the least. and the most disappointing thing is to find out that the passengers that were embarking on the cruise after us got credits of some sort, reimbursements and apologies for leaving late while those of us who rode out the storm in the middle of it got NOTHING but a rushed "hurry up and get off the ship". Very disappointing. I wish I had pictures of the condition of my room with the shattered glass all over the floor along with anything that was on the dresser top.

The cruise was great but the experience of the last 2 days was a nightmare. I would never recommend anyone sail this ship. If you google the accounts of people on the Carnival Sunshine for these cruise dates, you will see the nightmare we experienced.

There cruise was great. There was nothing to do there.

Just beware of excursion & what you really get for your money. Pack an extension cord!

Overall, we had a very good time. The staff and food was very good. The excursion on Bimini Island was the biggest disappointment of the entire cruise, second was the extremely dirty windows.

We had a great time relaxing and eating. The Princess Cay island meal was not as great as we hoped. We enjoyed the trip and our friend wants to do a longer trip now. The food was excellent and staff were amazing. Going to miss being able to leave out of Charleston SC. Very convenient for us and a very interesting city. Not sure if we will be doing as many cruises if we have to drive all day to get to a port. Sad news your not going to be there next year,

I’m sorry but I was truly disappointed in this cruise. Long waits for drinks, over crowded, excursion was a bust and when we complained we got nothing. Food was ok but not great. Overall I did not think much about this cruise.

It was a pleasant and short cruise. Nothing really stood out either Great or Bad.
