"I had purchased two build-a-bear kits as gifts for the grandkids online before the cruise -- that's the only way they were able to participate in this activity as the line stretched more than half of the length of the ship.But on this first cruise for us since the pandemic, we felt the Port of Charleston had really stepped up its game...."Read More

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

Read some other reviews and although the ship layout and size has created some issues, overall we had a good vacation. This was our fifth cruise with Carnival but the first one out of Charleston and aboard the Sunshine. We didn’t splurge on any in port excursions but we did partake in the faster to the fun, cheers program, the steak house, internet, and deep tissue massages. Even though it is an ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

We chose this cruise line because of the balance of fun for both the kids and us adults. We had a fantastic time aboard sunshine. Staff were phenomenal, always working hard and in great spirits and our housekeeping/room attendant Yoko even knew all of our names and made it a point to make sure we always had what we needed. There is so many activities to do on the ship its often hard to choose! Our ...

My birthday was the 19th and Charleston is a 6 hr drive from our home. We were 3 couples and we had Spa Cabins. The location was great because we just walked out the "back door "to everything...movies, bars and restaurants. We are all normally on Princess or Celebrity cruises and this Carnival was our 3rd Carnival and the 3rd cruise we took since the Covid lockdown was over. . Last ...

BACKGROUND: This was a much-anticipated special anniversary cruise for me and my husband, married over forty years, now both in our late sixties. This was my seventeenth cruise (twelfth on Carnival) and the sixth for my husband (all Carnival). BEFORE THE CRUISE: We live five hours away, so we decided to come in a day early and stay overnight so we would have no stress on embarkation day. We ...

My wife and I booked this cruise under different circumstances than we normally do. On our previous cruises together, we've sought out newer ships and/or interesting itineraries that include places we've not been, even if it meant traveling to a departure port further away from us or spending a bit more to make it happen. We booked this one, however, on relatively short notice and did so largely ...

Had a wonderful 3rd time sailing on the Carnival Sunshine. This being our 1st time sailing out of Charleston. Charleston is a much more convenient option for us distance wise and it was a great place to stay the night before to enjoy. Now, the ship itself is really starting to show its age. We’ve loved this ship when we sailed on it in 2015 and 2018, but it’s in rough shape for 2022. The sports ...

Typical Mid-Range Carnival Cruises Experience

10+ Cruises • Age 30s

This was a typical mid-range Carnival experience. It met my expectations but did not exceed my expectations or 'WOW' me. As usual, the main dining room has really gone downhill and it is a shame that specialty dining is required in the evenings for an excellent meal at dinner. Fortunately, breakfast/brunch and a few lunch offerings like Guys Burgers and the pizza place, are excellent in comparison ...

My 19 yo son and I have started a new tradition of doing a short cruise together each summer. Last year we did the RCL Freedom of the seas at 30 percent capacity. This was a Full ship. We have cruised Carnival before and I had a great casino offer. Overall a fun long weekend. There were some areas that needed improvement. The embarkation system is complicated but ran smoothly. They have ...

ABOUT OUR PARTY: My husband and I, both in our 60's, have cruised on this ship twice before in 2010 and 2012 when it was still the "Destiny." We were eager to see how the refurb changed the ship and to experience the Port of Charleston. This was a five-day cruise visiting Nassau and Half Moon Cay. We cruised with our daughter, her husband, and our 8 and 10-year-old grandchildren. THE NIGHT ...

We choose this cruise because it was a 3-hour drive to the port for us. We arrived around 11:30 to the parking lot and there was no line and we pulled right up to the luggage tent, then followed directions to where to park and walked to Building 324 to check in. Somewhere in there we paid for the week to park but I can't remember if it was before luggage drop off or after. The lot lanes are A, ...
