Carnival Sunshine Cruise Reviews for Romantic to the Bahamas from New Orleans

We just returned from the Mardi Gras cruise on the Carnival Sunshine out of New Orleans. Overall we had a wonderful time and even though the cruise was a little pricey when compared to other times out of New Orleans (not surprising) it was still nice. There are some serious problems in my eyes though with the Sunshine, which is an older ship (Destiny) that has been completely updated and re-named ...

DW and I have 23 cruises in our history, mostly with Carnival. (since they home port in New Orleans year round, and we are only a bit more than one hour from that Port) We have cruised on other lines as well, so we do have some 'point of reference'. I don't consider myself either a 'cheerleader' nor a 'basher', and I know that every review (and every cruise) is a unique experience for every ...

Just got off of this ship on my fiancé and I's cruise and we had an absolute amazing time on Carnival Sunshine! This is a pretty lengthy and in depth post, so if you don't like to read full reviews you might want to tl;dr this one. Carnival has packed all of the Fun Ship 2.0 enhancements on board this newly renovated ship and has really improved the ships decor from its old, glitzy Vegas themes ...

I was on the 2/2/14-2/9/14 Bahamas sailing. I was very excited at first to cruise but then as time got closer I became a little apprehensive due to the 2 other cruise lines having the sickness issues. I must say that my experience far far exceeded my expectations. To start the embarkation process was smooth as it could be then once on ship we had lunch and then the rest of the day to do what we ...

After reading all the nightmarish reviews of this ship, I thought I was boarding a norovrius septic tank. This is my12th cruise all on carnival, so I know a little about what to expect from carnival overall. I will try to go through all the parts of the ship. New Orleans Port- Again easy to get in and on the boat by 1130 with no lines. Interior-Some complained about how they streamlined the ship ...

My husband and I with our 7 children just returned from a week on the gorgeous Sunshine. This is our 9th cruise, and our 5th with Carnival. After reading all those horrible reviews, I looked into changing our cruise to a different boat. I am so glad I didn't! I don't know what these other cruisers are complaining about because the boat is completely beautiful. We have sailed the Carnival Magic ...

Just got off the Sunshine this morning and wanted to write while everything was fresh on my mind.. I have been on 8 cruises on 5 different lines over the past 10 years. I booked this cruise because I was able to drive to the port from our house about 7 hours away and avoid airline charges. I had 3 cabins on deck 8 2 balconies and an inside. Travelers included 3 daughters 19, 20, and 32, 81 year ...

First of all , we had a great time. We had 14 of us, young, old, children, married, first timers, experienced cruisers, and everyone had a blast. Rooms - on par for Carnival. Clean, comfortable. If you want a spacious room to hang out in, book a suite or go to a hotel at a private resort, the party is not in your room. Food - Buffet - wasnt overly impressed about the buffet, it was hot and ...

We planned our trip a year in advance . We wanted to renew our vows for our Anniversary since we eloped our first time. With our 4 kids& us in two rooms with adjoined, We bought new suits and dresses for the kids. My husband bought a tux and I bought a gown... Not just any gown... ThE GOWN. I spent a small fortune on it , but hey.. I wanted to do it right. We arranged in advance all of our gluten ...

You blew it Carnival. You have seriously let down cruisers with your cutbacks and lack of customer service. I DO NOT blame the extremely hard working staff and crew...I blame the management, the CEO, the so called decision makers. For example: 1. Food - if supposed to be hot, will be served lukewarm to cold. Guaranteed. I did not have ONE hot item either in the dining room, in room service or in ...
