Ship information
Carnival Sunshine
Everything the sunlight touches on Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun. There's plenty to find atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun. Visit the biggest Serenity area ever, featuring three decks, plenty of recliners... and even a waterfall. Carnival WaterWorks™, our onboard waterpark, doesn't just deliver the favorites... this one debuted the slick Speedway Splash slide. There's also SportSquare™, where you can let your inner champion run free (around the jogging track), traverse SkyCourse™ high up above, or even engage in a little one-on-one, from ping pong to foosball to giant chess.When you're on your Carnival Sunshine cruise, step out of the sun and try out some shade (and it's some pretty cool shade, at that). The first thing you'll see is the Sunshine Atrium... and let's just say first impressions count. From there, check out dining options — this ship has everything under the Carnival sun — like Guy's Burger Joint™, BlueIguana Cantina™, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse™ and JiJi Asian Kitchen®. Some of the greatest Carnival bars are here: RedFrog Pub®, BlueIguana Tequila Bar™, SkyBox™ Sports Bar and Alchemy Bar®... plus the already-classic Havana Bar™! You'll enjoy musical revues from Playlist Productions™, where songs you know and love come to life on stage.When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine, fun at sea is guaranteed.

First Time Cruiser: 40s
Great time on my first cruise for a wedding.
This was my first cruise ever and i thought it was great. Yes there were a lot of kids as it was spring break and sometimes it got crowded in the common areas but it was still a great time. There were constant activities every day from live shows, trivia, game shows and more. We were on this cruise for a friends wedding and it was beautiful. The staff did such a great job for all aspects of the wedding. The captain performed the ceremony and fun was had by everyone in attendance. The housekeeping staff was great and very accommodating. Our servers in the main dining room were the best. Especially "Mega". I thought the food quality was good. There were different choices each night and they made sure to ask about allergies for everyone on the first night. They also had friendlier desserts for diabetics with "no sugar added". Overall the main dining room was my favorite place to eat. They also had other options like the buffet on the Lido deck, guys burger joint, the blue iguana cafe, a deli, and a pizza place. Our cabin was a perfect size for the three of us. Yes it showed its age with some discoloring on the walls and ceiling but we used the cabin to sleep. I didnt care if the wall was discolored as everything was clean and well kept. Other areas of the ship may have been showing its age but we had a great time and i am already looking at cruises for next year.

First time cruising
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to cruise with my family for my mother’s birthday. I truly enjoyed myself. My mother enjoyed herself too. We were celebrating her 50th birthday alongside my aunt (her twin). The cruiser was sweet and wished them happy birthday! The cruise had Excellent Food and excellent service. Great music and all-around good vibes. I would like to shout out Nolan from guest service! He was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you Nolan for all of your help, advice, and service. Also, DJ Dan was my favorite DJ on the cruise. Thanks for the great music selection. Micheal in the liquor store was professional and kind to me and my cousin. We appreciated his knowledge of the best liquor to buy. My favorite bartender's name was forgotten but she was great. It started with a P! Thank you to all the staff truly. I highly recommend this cruise line!
