Overall the Sunshine is a success in our book. This was our fifth Carnival sailing and experienced the most friendly overall crew and extremely clean ship.
A quick pros and cons of Sunshine:
Pros-Cabins are fresh and new (we had a balcony on Empress Deck). Awesome showers, beds and flat screen TV's. The Ji-Ji Asian kitchen is awesome. The Havana Bar area is perfect spot to eat. Good Eats buffet remains open during dinner times so provides nice option if you don't want to make dining room. Three deck Serenity is very serene. Food in Sunset Dining room excellent and out servers had us in and out in an hour (very helpful with a 15 month old!). Never saw any drip buckets that people on past sailings talked about.
