New Orleans Carnival Sunshine Cruise Reviews

This was our 19 cruise 5 of which were on Carnival. This is the first one on the Carnival Sunshine. I, like others thought the negative reviews were just from people who had it in for Carnival for one reason or another. Well, we should have taken the reviews to heart. The stateroom was an interior room and was actually larger than we thought it would be. We had several problems there... the ...

Hello. Let me start by saying that I am a avid cruiser and I choose to cruise with Carnival frequently. I am a Platinum member and love all the perks that come with it. I simply LOVE CARNIVAL. Well, this past cruise on the Carnival Sunshine was not as pleasant, as I wanted it to be. My husband and I were on the Carnival Sunshine last September on a Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona, Spain and ...

This was my 11th Carnival cruise. My last cruise on the Conquest in Oct of 2013 raised my expectations. I was excited to sail on the Sunshine and experience all of the Funship 2.0 enhancements, the Serenity area, and to experience the showroom lounge that transforms into the nightclub. This ship is visually pleasing, with nice bright spaces that are tastefully decorated. Overall I enjoyed the ...

I must say I was very disappointed in the Carnival Sunshine (sailing date was March 16th 2014). This was my second sailing on a Carnival ship (last sailing was on the Carnival Dream in 2013) and I must say just might be my last. I will try to outline my disappointments and areas I liked below. But before I complain…there are some great things about the ship. The free popcorn on movie nights was ...

This was our 6th Carnival cruise. All on different ships. The Sunshine was easily the worst ship we've ever been on. Comedy club holds only about 200 and the Liquid Lounge maybe 600. On a ship with over 3,000 folks. You have to wait in line (some folks waited 1.5 hours for a comedy show) and then get turned away because they're full. If you happen to make it into either venue you stand a good ...

This was our first cruise, so I had no idea what to expect. Looking at the pictures of sunshine before leaving our home, I was excited the days seemed so long in wait to leave. Once onboard my family of 4 and I couldn't wait to set our luggage down and explore. This begins the frustration. You couldn't get anywhere without going round in circles. I had read reviews before leaving from people that ...

Carnival Sunshine…A Disappointment We just finished a cruise on Sunshine and were quite disappointed. Having sailed on 9 cruises, both large and small ships, the Sunshine does not live up to Carnival’s standard. The passengers who had only sailed on one or two cruises were happy with the ship. All the experienced cruisers were disappointed in the ship and said they would never sail on Sunshine ...

Ok, here is my full review. Please excuse any misspells as I am writing on the fly. My son is disabled and had a room across from us with his friend. Our waiter Jovan and his support staff were VERY good to us. Through many times where he would have to leave to help other waiters because they were understaffed, it was all still good. There seemed to be inconsistencies in our dining times as far as ...

I've cruised several times, with this being my second Carnival cruise. I enjoyed the Carnival Legend a few years back and was really surprised how drastically different and disappointing the Sunshine was. First, the "pros" included a great staff in the main dining area and the awesome cabin steward. We had terrific service in these areas and staff who seemed happy and professional throughout. ...

We have always been a fan of Carnival and have done over 6 Carnival cruises. One of the things we look most forward to on Carnival is having our own table at dinner and the fun you have by having the same wait staff. We were on a 7 night cruise and I couldn't even tell you our wait staff names or where they were from. They barely took the time to talk to us and rushed us through most dinners. The ...
