HORRIBLE Service aboard Sunshine Vessel

We choose this cruise because some dear friends of ours were renewing their vows for their 25th anniversary. This was the worse Carnival experience ever! The shower curtain was too short and water flooded the bathroom floor every time we showered. Consequently, we had to request extra towels to place on the floor to absorb the water. We pre-ordered a case of water and did not receive it until ...

I love carnival and have been going on them for years with nothing but good things to say. Over this past trip the boat was so old and out dated as well as poorly kept up. I must say the inside cabin was fine and the floor employees were great but that's about. For on they must have been doing repairs on the boat while we were on it due to all the banging and noises throughout the day and night ...

We traveled on the Carnival Sunshine September 24-October 1, 2016. It was our first Carnival Cruise, and it will be our last. The ship is very old and outdated. We had a spa balcony room, and it was tiny, tiny, tiny. The color scheme in the room, bright yellow and bright turquoise, was hideous. We hardly ever saw our room steward, so we did not tip him, which led to him turning the water off to ...

We chose this cruise in a line dance group same as we did 7 years ago on Carnival Triumph. However, this Carnival Sunshine Fun ship is a boring one. NO disco, NO private dancing time at sea days..Carnival dancing lessons was short and limited. 15 minutes one dance per section only twice in 7 days. It is too small; only 3 Jacuzzi, 2 swimming pools; mini golf only one hole; limited crew to ...

We booked this cruise for our honeymoon, and we expected it to be fun, but the negative overshadowed the positives on this trip. We carried our own luggage on, and used the only available elevator to get to deck 12. We waited while other people crowded the elevator going to rooms 4-9 which, I understand, a lot of people are on the ship. Although maybe this elevator should only be available for ...

have been on 5 cruises this was 2nd time for the carnival and Im just so very disappointed in the whole experience, to begin with the lay out of this ship is terrible you have to go through a very smoky casino to get to dinner the ship is way to small for the amount of people. Not much to do. The main shows in liquid lounge where awful they need to change them they really can not sing. the food ...

Worst cruise experience ever! We booked this cruise on the Sunshine because we had a great cruise on the Conquest last November. I can't believe the difference between the two ships. 1. Food was terrible. Chicken can be compared to warm(and sometimes cold) rubber. Fish was slimy and under cooked. 2. Towels and sheets were dirty even after having the room cleaned. 3. Smell of ...

Oh where do I start. First of all when I book the cruise they lied to me that ship came out in 2013. I later researched it it was built in 1997 I think refurbished in 2013 and name changed so basically it's a grandma in its fleet. Than when we board the ship there's only 2 people for guest service come on there's thousands of people boarding. I went to my stateroom call guest service they put me ...

The ship was a nightmare. The ship was dirty with paint peeling everywhere and wallpaper peeling in the dining room and hallways. The hallways always smelled stale when not smelling with marijuana and the carpeting was dirty and stained. (We called security one night because the marijuana smell was coming from under the door into our stateroom. We were told unless we saw it happen, nothing could ...
