Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Had a nice relaxing vacation! Serenity area is a real gem. 3 decks, could always find a spot. Was nice in the evening also, lots of places to spread out and read a book.

BFF BDAY Surprise Cruise by wondergirlrs54

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Sunshine / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

I went on the cruise to surprise a friend who was celebrating herc65th birthday. The only disappointment I had was the cabin decoration I ordered and prepaid for did not happen. I was refunded the cost with no problem. Other than that, I had a great time. My sister and I also gifted my brother this cruise experience. It was his first time and he had a wonderful time. All in all we all had a great time.

Average Carnival Cruise by CleverCruises

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Average cruise. It met my expectations but did not exceed my expectations. Carnival used to exceed my expectations for what I paid but that hasn't been the case lately. It still is a great value for what you get but the ship seemed very crowded for the available amenities and venues and this is often an issue on Carnival ships. Comedians were not as good as what I am used to on Carnival either. They were extremely average and not really worth waiting for like they usually are. The musicians were incredible as always and the stage shows I attended were fairly entertaining as well. Cabins and tbe ship were definitely worn and showing their age. She needs a dry dock but will likely not be getting one soon although the waterworks was in good condition and fun. I noticed the previously amazing brunch menu was also cut in half; Carnival keeps making cut after cut and is increasingly living up to it's reputation as a budget cruise line instead of exceeding expectations unfortunately. Bartenders were still the best at sea and my fellow passengers are fun and memorable as always. Carnival is still the fun ship for sure, despite the downsides. Food was very inconsistent but still good overall and met my expectations for the most part. Specialty dining was definitely a worthwhile option and worth the extra cost for the most part although I found Cucina del Capitano to be very disappointing on this ship. Cucina was just reopened after closing for a while, however, so perhaps it was due to growing pains, etc. Go in with average expectations when sailing on this ship though and you wont be disappointed. Get Cheers if you like to drink because the Alchemy Bar is the best spot to socialize and have the best drinks at sea but isn't cheap and Carnival is definitely a fun party ship that you will want to enjoy without worrying about your bar bill at the end.

A great short inexpensive cruise to Bimini! I would not hesitate to sail on the Sunshine again. This was everything I enjoyed in a cruise. I’m ready to book our next!

Done this trip a few times. Port is only 30 minutes from home. This would be a good first cruise to see what's it's like.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Like I said before if you're looking for new and perfect this isn't the ship. However, it is clean. The staff is AWESOME!! The food was better the Horizon when we were on it two months ago.

Well beyond expectations...impressed an old pro. by cbyron3

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Sunshine

Extremely relaxing. Avoided the crowds. Food was some of the best ever in the MDR. Half moon cay, if done correctly, is hard to beat. Much less kids than I expected and unusually behaved. My 24th cruise across 6 different cruise lines and the whole cruise exceeded expectations.
