Embarkation lunch at Ocean Plaza. And to help get around, from your cabin, go to the elevator that serves your destination; which is not necessarily the closest elevator.

Don't expect perfection. A cruise is no different than any other vacation. Not everything is going to be a 5-star experience. Relax and have fun.

Enjoy yourself, sleep in if you want, stay out all night!!! GET THE DRINK PACKAGE!

A little short staffed but everyone worked as hard as they could to make everything great. We always enjoy ourselves on the Sunshine.

Make sure to have enough funds for drinks if you don’t purchase a drink package and remember your gratitudes can be removed and you can leave how much you want to

Definitely go to the dining rooms for dinner and go to the sea day brunches. Ask for George Yuda and Afif for your wait staff if possible, they are exceptional and will make your cruise very enjoyable. and

Carnival Sunshine cruise is definitely one need to try specially for the 1st timer like us. It’s worth of trying and spendings time for a family. Specially for Father’s Day or any occasion.

Lower your expectations!

Enjoy the wonderful food and relaxation. Dont try to battle the crowds for the comedy shows, the lines and crowds will harsh your vibe. Just enjoy the lower key venues, the dive in movies, the thermal spas, the serenity deck and you can have a wonderful time.

The Port of Charleston is one of our least favorites. Reference embarkation and debarkation. Other than that, the Sunshine does shine!!!!!!!!

Do NOT stay on Deck Six aft!!!!

Don’t let them do anything for you until they tell you how much it costs. They will charge you without you even knowing the amount. The fact they charged me $100 per person for a Covid test without even telling me I had a time was appalling to me.

Do not sail on this ship unless the itinerary is your major reason. We did it because of Charleston.

Prepare to be shuffled around. Want to film something? No time. Just move with the pack

The pool was a bit of a disappointment. It's very small and gets extremely crowded. I recommend getting in some pool time early in the day and saving other activities for later.
