1st Cruise and not sure I’ll ever do it again!

We chose this cruise because of its affordability and the amount of good things I have heard about it. WRONG! Maybe my standards are higher than others but this trip was not good. The positive things were the employees were always nice. Though most could not speak or understand English. I thought this a bit odd as we traveled out of Charleston, SC and most if not all guest spoke English. The best ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was the my first cruise and it was the worst experience that I have ever had... the rooms were flooded out and there was a mold smell/musty smell and the food was awful. They help me to my room when we first got on but didn't help at all when we got ready to go and I am disabled and needed help. My skin was irritated by something inside of the room . When I came home i had bit marks and ...

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 ...

Aging ship and bad food

My significant other chose this cruise as a family and friends vacation. The smoothest part was leaving the ship on the last day, but that was just the best luck we had the whole trip. She’s much more of an avid cruiser than me. It’s been 10+ years since my last cruise. The food was worse than hospital food-all of the food-(and I know this because I work in a hospital). It’s very obvious the ship ...

The first night went pretty well sorta confused where the dining room was, was disappointed ...

Horrible food, overcrowded, disgustingly Smokey casino

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Carnival Sunshine

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 ...

Worst Carnival Cruise we have ever been on--and we've been on 3 others

We were able to leave from Charleston which is close to where we live. The main dining room food was very poor even though my husband and I are not fussy eaters. The best piece of meat I had the whole cruise was a steak I paid an extra $25 for. "Specialty"restaurants were a joke. They were the same restaurants we ate in during the day. Then they put tablecloths on the tables, charged you ...

I don't get homesick...and wanted to go home Onboarding their computer system crashed and they lost 2,500 people's registration information. Lines were terrible and hot. They cut corners in everyway on included food and drinks. Nothing I ate was good. We only tried our dining room once and it wasn't good. The two mornings bacon was available they would monitor giving two pieces. Included food ...

Went with family and this was my first cruise. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We loved the feeling of being pampered and did not even have to clean up after ourselves, even though I did so. Dining was exceptional and the crew was out of this world, they really rocked their jobs. We took a couple of excursions, not enough time in Nassau to do what we wanted, Blue Lagoon was okay. The ...
