We have NEVER had a bad cruise. I have been on the Sunshine numerous times, It is one of our favorites! DO NOT take bad reviews or comments to heart and just judge for yourself. We have no complaints about this ship and the Sunshine staff is amazing! If you drink, I recommend the Alchemy bar... Those bar tenders are AMAZING! On our last 2 cruises both sets of bartenders ,1st was 3 males, 2nd was 3 females , they happen to be the ladies in this video and I hope they are still on board next month when we sail...LOVED them! lol, made our cruise that much more fun! The ship is older yes, but as another commentor has said, this WAS the Destiny originally and has been upgraded and refurbished, not only that but these people take care of all the ships beautifully. Also, remember...you are on a cruise, you could be back at home cooking, cleaning and working etc. ENJOY being pampered and ENJOY just being on vacation and all these ships have to offer.

One of the things I always look forward to the most is the waiters dancing in the dining hall. It makes for such a fun and entertaining environment. If I wanted a boring, uneventful meal, I could stay on land or go to the buffet. My kids and I even get up and dance with them!

We had a great time on the Sunshine. The shows we went to were awesome. They did sing live and they had great choreography. The food was pretty good most of the time. Enjoyed being on the Sunshine.

We just got off the Sunshine. My 5th Carnival Cruise, my 1st on the Sunshine and it has been my favorite ship so far! We loved everything about it. Sorry y'all didn't appreciate the staff dancing at dinner trying to entertain you. Y'all sound fun! 🙄 Your vacation is what YOU make it.

We’re bringing our 3 kids as well, so I’m happy to see it’s very family friendly!

The Sunshine is awesome. I've been on it twice, and I'm going on it again in a few months. Let me tell you what no one else will. The Sunshine is so much better than The Mardi Gras or Celebration. Those giant ships just cram way more people on board and charge you to eat at every restaurant. Also, the food is spread so far apart, so everyone eats the same food or takes a long walk to get different food. Small ships rule

Went in 2004 when I was 11. You revived my lucid memories of it . I wanna go back with the fam!

The karaoke has become mine & my husband’s favorite activity….we love going an hour or so before our late dining & having a couple of drinks while enjoying the show front row❤❤❤

Great video, I really got a good understanding of the age of the ship from your video. Definitely shows well!

Iove the sunrise and going out of charleston.we are going to miss it

We set sail later this month. I enjoyed the information that you provided.

We're going in September. Excited about taking one of the last sailings out of Charleston. On our last Carnival cruise, we took 2 bottles of wine and 2 12-packs soda/juice and saved on drinks.

cruised on Carnival Sunshine in Nov2016 with 2 of my younger sisters. we enjoyed and had a great time. your video was honest and on point. however, I enjoy the entertainment in the MDR during dinner and will get up and dance with them. we're not ones to pay extra to eat in the specialty restaurants for it's the same food just paying extra for the ambiance. we had an awesome band that played in the Ocean Plaza. good info for 1st time cruisers or a guest's 1st time on the Carnival Sunshine. thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video! We set sail on this ship in May. It’s our first cruise so this was extremely helpful! ❤

Thanks for the ship tour! I will be boarding this ship soon!!

Thanks for the video!! All info was greatly appreciated! We set sail March 2nd on Sunshine. Looking forward to it😍

Very excited to go on this cruise :) thanks for your video!!

I just keep commenting. Haha. Thanks for the tip about the arcade. I know my kids would be blowing alllll my money. 😂😂😂

I've been on the sunshine many times great video!!!

Been on Sunshine 5 times, going once more in May. She's an older ship, but for her size, she has it where it counts. Has many of the specialty restaurants you won't find on other similar sized vessels, has a decent-sized waterpark for the kiddos, crew is great as always and the ship has a more laid back vibe than many that sail out of Canaveral and Miami. Look forward to seeing her after her monthlong drydock in January '25. They're doing an extensive refurbishment then. She'll be good as new thereafter.

Love love love your honest review☺

We will be cruising on this ship in February. We have cruised Carnival a lot in the past but not on this ship. Thank you for a great tour. We have noticed since the pandemic, that the entertainment have been sub-par except for the comedy club. The music around the ship has always been one of our favorite things, but the quality and the amount of performances have gone down. Hopefully that improves. Thanks again.

Thank you for the tips! They were very helpful! 😊

Carnival sunshine was my second carnvial cruise line and i loved it me and my family had a good time when i was on that boat when i was a lil girl

Thinking about taking the wife on a cruise next year, she’s never been on a cruise, my parents have taken me on 5 or 6 just with carnival. She’s gotta try it!!

Gonna be on this cruise tomorrow

It is important to know that this ship was initially the carnival destiny. It was renamed and had a huge retrofit done in 2013 where fun ship 2.0 upgrades were done. All of the destiny class ships had this done

We go one our first cruise in August thanks for all the info

Going in October to the Caribbean Yah’s will

Be on it June....lets gooo

Thank you for the awesome tour. Where is the beach at the end? Thanks. LLAP

Looking forward to my cruise on 5th August.

Going on this ship in April I feel like it isn’t as nice as carnival Magic but still excited!

The best TOUR video I have watched for the Carnival Sunshine, Thank you!

The Sunshines great.

This ship has been to Dry dock three times since 2013. May 2016, Oct 2018 and Nov 2021. Next dry dock is Jan 2025.

I appreciate the review! I’m looking at a 4 night cruise out of Charleston in December but $180/night per person for the smallest interior room on a ship that’s so old… idk.. it’s not as appealing as it was before I watched your video lol

I will be on Sun, Princess March 9❤

I've been on several Carnival cruises, but I've never been on the sunshine. I'm booked for next March and I was really curious if it measured up to some of the fairly newer ships. I am curious though. Are all the shows lip synced? No live shows with Playlist Productions? Thank you for sharing.

Thinking of cruising this ship. We sailed on the Magic and enjoyed that and this ship looks similar. Do they have poker tournaments on this ship? They did not on the Magic.

I really appreciate this review. I was on the fence about this ship, looks too old for me.

luv this video especially since im leaving for mi sunshine cruise on saturday🤗2 dayz away & its mi 1st cruise ever im super super excited! 1 question i hav is about the food, ik specialty is at a cost per person but is buffet free..?

Great video, our family and several others are going on this ship in a couple months so this really helped with the prep. I don’t remember much of the video covering excursions. Is this something we should book ahead or are there better deals once we hit the shore? This is our first cruise as well, on carnivals website they are saying excursions are selling out but I feel like it might be a marketing ploy. Thanks in advance!

Carnival is the BEST! Get yer PaRtY oN!👙🕶🍹

Im going in mayyy

Nice video😊

Will you do a video on the excursions? I’m so confused on what to do.

Hi! Love this video !! How was the food? Did you pay for fancy dinners? Is there entertainment such as comedy shows , clubs? Is drink package worth it?

Thanks so much for this review.

Over een paar maanden.ik verheug me al.

$2 per game in the arcade for 30second games is crazy wow thats ridiculous

In a few months, I’m about to go on this specific cruise and this will be my first time ever going on a cruise should I get motion sickness pills or no and what else should I expect?

IM IN THE VIDEO AT 29:06

I am trying to decide between the Sunrise and the Conquest, any opinion?

Hey great video! Few Questions. Is there a dress up/formal night? When at the beach at half-moon cay, can you sit in the lounge chairs for free? And are there enough for everyone? Thanks!

So I'm very frustrated and sad to hear, if I understand you correctly, that you actually bought one of the wifi packages (not sure which one) and it was "horrible". I think you even said it doesn't matter if you got the more expensive ones. This is one thing I have researched to death and was still on the fence on IF I would get anything or if I did, which tier. I haven't heard anyone else say it was THAT bad. In fact, the $5 hub chat that you DID recommend, I have heard mixed reviews on that where some people say its very spotty, delayed, messages, etc. I'm so conflicted!! But Im definitely not about to pay $60 or $100 for real internet packages if they really dont work that well?

This video was less of a ship tour and more of a scathing review.

See you August 5th.

itz fun cause they cant dance😂🤣i luvd that

wow i actually bought 2 dresses for the formal nights of the captains dinners or what not🤦🏻‍♀️this is disappointing

We usually lose weight on the ship. So much walking

You said that the ship hasn't been touched in over a decade. This is not true. The Sunshine was last drydocked in 2021.

I've sailed on Sunshine 21 times since April 2023 with 15 more booked😊 I lose weight because of the food 😂😂

ecspecially

Are there any places on the ship where you can get internet without getting the internet package?

Do they have child watch on this ship? It wasn’t mentioned in the video?

Waiting for your cruise ship to come out to see if you can do better.

It saddens/sickens me to think people go to dinner in sloppy attire or stupid ridiculous pajamas.

Stop REPEATING Negativity of the ship over and over..Geez..Also since it is Older the ride/cruise is SMOOTHER..Like your review but stop repeating negativity..

hasnt been touched in a decade? you do know all the fleet gets routine drydockings every few years right? smaller, older ship on a short cruise? ya, your not gonna get the good entertainment either.

My family and I had the worst experience on this Cruise. So many rude people. There were kids riding the elevators harassing the passenger, and the Crew did nothing about it

Watch me move that towel and bag.

This is a beautiful 🚢. But it stinks. Please fix the smell 😫.

Infested with roaches. Been on 36 cruises and never seen more than just some fruit flies. Saw roaches all over the ship last week. You can go to the CDC website and check the Vessel Sanitation Program report....Disgusting. Report is from 7/8/2023 and says it has been corrected, but all it takes to say it's been corrected, is to produce a receipt of treatment.

Where the club at

so fuckin weird to film people and shit on their clothes choices without them knowing
