Just got back from the Carnival Sunshine..what a fantastic ship! I enjoyed every aspect of it..the shows, the food, the service, the drinks. We walked to the shows 15 minutes early and we never had a problem getting a seat. The water slides on the Sunshine rocked! Oh my how fast they are!! My room steward, Herbaju was fantastic! He took such good care of us and always called us by name. So friendly and efficient! We stayed in room 11001 in the spa area. It was very spacious, and clean! Dining was great! Jiji's Kitchen was so fantastic! We went twice! The deli was so good, I went back more than once. The cruise director..Emma..she was so fun! Full of energy and kept the crowd going all week long with fun activities. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Grand Turk was so much fun. Visited Jack's Shack and met Topher the dog. The beach is much nicer by Jack's Shack rather than by the ship where it can be a little rough on your feet due to shells and rocks. Margaritaville was awesome! The pool was so big and perfect. I enjoyed sitting in lounge chairs here for a while. The music and the crowd were fun! Half moon cay was one of the prettiest places I've ever seen! I'd love to stay there for days! We went to Nassau and did the All day Atlantis pass with lunch..it was so much fun! We did water slides first, then we went to the aquariums and the predator tunnel and walked to the beaches and pools..We found a starbucks in Atlantis. We had frappes and then we went and had our free lunch. You get a cup for soda at lunch that is refillable throughout the park. We walked over 6 miles and saw everything we wanted to see and did everything we intended. I would go back on the Carnival Sunshine in a heartbeat.

Cabin Review

Spa Interior

Cabin 4S

Cabin 11001 is on the very end of a hallway all by yourself with no other doors! I enjoyed this. The room itself is a little bigger than other rooms..it was so quiet and clean. The bathroom was very nice and never had any issues. The hair dryer didn't work. There's a nice little fridge under where the tv is. Good amount of room in the closets. The bed was very comfy and so was the AC. Located right above the spa so it was very very quiet.

I had no trouble in port and it was my first time. We had FTTF. It was a breeze.

GORGEOUS! NO NEED FOR AN EXCURSION HERE!
