This was our first cruise with Carnival and, having read about all the problems with this ship since it's refurbishment in May, we were a bit apprehensive. Needn't have worried - we had a fantastic time and were very impressed with Carnival Sunshine! The sun shone both on and off the ship and we had a brilliant family holiday - myself and husband (both 60), daughter (33) and grandson (10)
Cabins
We had 2 interior cabins on deck 7 (7283 and 7287) and they were the biggest interior cabins we have ever had. The one for my daughter and grandson in particular had 2 twin beds but they were arranged in a "L" shape so plenty of floor space and ample storage with 2 wardrobes, a shelved cupboard which contained the safe and a set of drawers (could have done with a bit more drawer/shelf space perhaps)
7283Inside cabin - biggest we have had on all ships. 2 wardrobes and 1 shelved cupboard plus I drawer unit and 1 small cupboard. Shower bigger than most too and good bathroom No bedside tables. Lighting good. TV not very good...few channels and poor reception. Ideal location at aft stairwell - 2 floors below waterworks and sports deck and 2 floors above dining room. At the other end of the ship to the nightclub which caused noise problems for many passengers. This cabin was very quiet7287 Inside cabin - biggest we have had on all ships.
