Carnival Sunshine Review
Thanksgiving Tradition Continues on the Superior Sunshine!
Rating by category
Additional details
We just got back from our Thanksgiving Week cruise aboard the Carnival Sunshine and had an absolutely fantastic time! This is our family's second cruise with Carnival (we have previously cruised on Royal Caribbean and Disney). Last year we traveled on the new Carnival Breeze for 8-days in the Southern Caribbean and this year wanted to experience the same amazing Fun Ship 2.0 options. We were certainly NOT disappointed! In fact, we felt the Sunshine provided a lot more!
EMBARKATION
Getting on the ship went extremely fast - even though we didn't purchase the "Faster to the Fun" option. We parked off-site at the Radisson "Park and Cruise" area for about $7.00 per day (highly recommended). I dropped my wife and two kids (ages 10 and 7) at the port to check-in, drove over to the Radisson and took the shuttle bus to meet them after security. It took less than 30 minutes and we were on-board the ship by 12:30pm. Once on-board, we were able to drop off our carry-on items in our staterooms and headed up to the Lido deck for lunch. After lunch, we went exploring and found that there were so many places to hangout and relax, for both the adults and the kids! When we returned to our staterooms before the Sail Away Party, we found all of our luggage being delivered to our rooms. We unpacked, made it to the Lido deck for the Sail Away Party and our fun aboard the Sunshine began!
Cabin Review
Ocean View
We had two adjoining outside staterooms and they were huge! We had tons of storage space and plenty of room to get ready each day. We never felt cramped - had a huge couch and were very comfortable. The bathroom was smaller than that on the Breeze, but still had enough room. Isaac was a fantastic cabin steward - he was always smiling, always asked about our day, and addressed us by name every time we saw him! Our rooms were always clean and had plenty of ice to make our daily drinks!
