I read lots of reviews about the Carnival Sunshine before the cruise, and I was prepared to face many problems during the cruise. So I have to start and say that I honestly don't know where the bad reviews come from. There is not a single bad thing I have to say about the ship (well, I had an elephant towel animal one night with a short nose, but I don't think that's really a downside).
I'll say, right at the begining, that never once had I encountered one of the famous (well, they are famous if you read the reviews) buckets, or bad smell, while on the ship. One night I saw some big air-dryers near the elevators next to our room, but that didn't effect me in any way).
I took a 7 nights exotic eastern caribbean cruise, from New Orleans, stopping at Isla Roatan (Honduras), Belize and Cozumel.
The room was nice. It was a porthole room (has two portholes instead of a picture window). You get an oceanview for the price of an inside room. The bathroom was a little small, but the room itself was more than enough.The room was clean and quiet. It was at the front of the ship, so you can hear some noises and feel some movement, but nothing disturbing.
