Not a fun cruise at all

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Sunshine

There were way too many people packed in for the amount of space. Elegant night was a joke. We sat pushed between a divider and another couple and it was so loud in there no one could hear each other. This was after a two hour wait. We sailed on this ship several years ago and really enjoyed it. The Captain's night was very relaxed and special, a lovely dining experience. On this cruise, ...

I have cruised Carnival before and did not have issues but I have never booked excursions or room decor before so maybe this is standard. I ordered birthday decorations which they sold me but “ran out of” even though I ordered well in advance and had I known prior I could have brought decorations. Also booked an excursion, got the tickets then the night before got a cancellation notice. No real ...

I’ve traveled on other cruise lines and was surprisingly disappointed in Carnival. First of all, I have never been solicited to on a cruise as frequently and relentlessly as when I was on Carnival. It was almost unbearable, and a frustration I heard from many fellow passengers. But the worst critique is at the end. I had my toddler with me. The staff was all wonderful with her. But I had to ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We cruised on the Carnival Sunshine 3-8 Feb 2024. As a welcome and taste of things to come, we were handeded rum punch in a water bottle that we could keep when we boarded.  Then we were told they were $26.  We handed them back. Our Stateroom Attendant, Komang,  was fantastic.  Very nice, and even remembered his assigned guests by name. I use a CPAP, but there wasn't an electric outlet by ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first cruise and I was really looking forward to it. The excitement was hard to contain. But upon arrival at the terminal I was greeted with aggressive and unpleasant staff. As we were walking from the parking lot to the terminal, one carnival staff member threatened my gf with arrest for “jaywalking” when she walked beside me, placing part of her body outside the crosswalk. While ...

This was the worst cruise ever. The port in Charleston SC was terrible. We had to walk a mile back to our car when we got back or wait an hour for a bus. There is no where on this ship for peace and quiet. This is for drinkers and gamblers. The dining room is a joke. Its more like a cafe. The server didn't introduce himself. He just came up and said are you ready? One piece of bread, one ...

Horrible food, overcrowded, disgustingly Smokey casino

A friend invited us to join them. Big mistake. Food was tasteless unless going to specialty dining areas. Buffet sucked in plain English. Housekeeping was fantastic. All staff were outstanding and friendly. Just felt overcrowded. As a non smoker I could not spend more than 30 minutes in the casino. Smokers would rather sit in there and smoke (not playing) so that they did not have to go to the 3rd ...

Overcrowded and outdates

I chose this cruise based on my daughters spring break and the local saving us flight tickets. They over booked the cruise creating hell for the staff to be able to keep up. Food was NOTHING like we’ve had on our 8 previous carnival cruises. Rooms were minimally cleaned and definitely was not worth what we spent. They turned out two person cabin into a three person by placing a cot in the only ...

Carnival has seriously went down hill. The food was awful at the buffet. Dining room food is practically what used to be available at the buffet. The portions are so small in the dining room it’s almost like a kids meal. Imagine paying 100s of dollars to eat fried chicken or a small piece of chicken for dinner. You best eat your hamburgers and pizza because gone are the days of having a nice ...

So... We chose this cruise based on availability for spring break. upon booking, we knew it would be crowded. the crowds were the least of our concerns. the check in and disembarkation process was very efficient and moved quickly - no issues with either. carnival has it down to a science for sure. so 10 out of 10 ! Food: thank goodness for guys burgers - that's what we survived on the ...
