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.
Hi, I was just giving my opinion. I’m sorry that you disagree. Some people have written, and said that their experience was terrible while others had a great time. I’m kind of in the middle, leaning more towards that the cruise was worth the expense. Sorry if that didn’t come across in the video.
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
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 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.
I would definitely agree with you. The vacation is what you make it. My wife didn’t like the people dancing. I thought it was hilarious. Compared to other carnival ships. I don’t think it’s the best at carnival has to offer but if you go, there are expecting to have a great vacation. You absolutely will. Thank you so much for leaving a comment and for taking the time to watch my video.
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'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.
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❤❤❤
I wish you the best on your cruise. I hope you have a great time. I also hope that you find my video helpful and please let me know how the cruise goes.
We love this ship, Just finished another trip on the Sunshine. I am disappointed that it is moving to Norfolk, VA. But we are already booked for the new location in 2025. James is a great cruise director.
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.
I appreciate that you took the time to leave such a detailed review. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and I appreciate your support. Glad to hear that you enjoy your time on the Sunshine.
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.
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.
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!!
I heard they were repurposed the dock area and building condos or something like that. That’s a shame. I really like leaving from South Carolina as an alternate port so I don’t have to drive all the way to Florida.
For the production shows, it seems you were on cast change, it’s usually songs plus dance plus backgrounds plus lights and all, when the cast just goes in their black clothes is because they are still rehearsing the full shows or if bad weather/technical difficulties happen :)
So how was it? I've been on Magic, was my least favorite of 5 Carnival ships. Pride/Legend were my favorites, Venezia very nice as well. I'm looking at Sunshine for next year out of Norfolk.
Heading out on the Sunshine next week. this will be our 5th cruise on this funship. We love it and hope to venture out and try the other ships in the carnival line up. I agree with 90% of what was said about the ship in this video. Thanks for making it, much appreciated. (hard to get to see the shows as they are sold out) any tips?)
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
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..?
Most all the food is for free. You have to pay at specialty restaurants, and if you go to the main dining hall, a small portion of the menu is an extra cost. All the meals you see in my video were included.
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 know I saw people playing poker, but I don’t recall there being a Poker tournament. They’re very well maybe one but gambling is not my thing so I wasn’t in the casino much.
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.
Please let me know how your trip goes. I believe it’ll be what you make it. There are folks who go on the sunshine and have a terrific time while others not so much. The music is pre-recorded, but the singers sing for real.
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
Don’t be discouraged. The quality of your cruise is what you make of it. People are as happy as they make up their minds to be If you go expecting to have a good time, you will.
@@letsgoseeit457 def- I suggested the trip to my in laws and not only did they want to go- they paid for us to upgrade to a nice room! I love to dance so I’m looking forward to the party atmosphere 🛳 🎉
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?
Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and to ask questions. I thought that the food was just OK, you do have to pay extra for the fancy dinners. I thought the entertainment was lacking however, the comedy shows were fantastic!
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!
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!
Hi, great questions. If you are on a cruise for more than seven days, there usually is a formal night. On the cruise I was on it was a five day cruise, and there was no formal night. Yes, you can have the lounge chairs for free at half moon cay. Thank you for watching. I made this video for viewers like you. I appreciate your viewership in your support.
I've been on conquest! I definitely feel like it was a lively ship. They have a nightclub on it. It was in 2019, but that was my favourite, so far. And it's still very family friendly
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?
Definitely get motion sickness pills ESPECIALLY if you aren't sure... If you get sea sick IT WILL NOT GO AWAY EVEN IF YOU TAKE THEN AFTER YOU ARE ALREADY SICK.. and your trip will be incredibly miserable....better safe then sorry... Where is your room... Back front or middle... Back and front you feel more rockiness... middle is normally good....
You should definitely get motion, sickness, pills. If you get a Boiling Cruse, they will gouge you with the cost. The best thing you can pack is an open mind.
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?
I too have heard mixed reviews when it comes to the Wi-Fi package. It’s very much like the Wi-Fi in my house. Some rooms it works great and others. It just doesn’t work that well. With a ship that has as many as a dozen floors, one can I understand how the Wi-Fi isn’t going to work perfectly everywhere, I’m sorry I couldn’t make this an easier decision for you.
Hi, thanks for watching. I am not sure why you would say that. I took you all over the ship and I said the ship is old for the price you pay. It’s not a bad value. I don’t think that’s too harsh.
Wow, you are a veteran cruiser. For clarification purposes, are you saying you lose weight because you think the food is terrible and you don’t eat it?
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
Hi, sorry that you had such a poor experience on board. When I was there, there was a fair amount of kids on board. Fortunately, they didn’t do anything to spoil my cruise. Overall, I didn’t have a bad experience aboard ship and I’m sorry to hear that your time was so terrible.
There are rude people everywhere. I've been on several cruises from a higher class to others, and people are just rude. Sorry you had a bad experience.
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..
Hi, thanks for taking the time. Leave a comment. Didn’t realize I was being so negative. I’ll have to take a second look at the video and do a self evaluation. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@@letsgoseeit457 I appreciate the honest review, dont see it as a negative. I'm cruising the sunshine in October and hope they make necessary adjustments
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.
It’s a growing trend to come as you are. Carnival, I think, wants to make the entire cruise experience, accessible and easy for everyone. However, I do feel that the dinnertime experience should be a formal event.
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.
You do know that ANY business that gets a lot of CARDBOARD BOXES get a lot of roaches...and SOMETIMES outbreaks happen especially when you put 6000 dirty ass people on one damn boat...you'd be surprised to find out how many roaches live in your favorite restaurants kitchen....Lol
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.

@@letsgoseeit457Karen is just pressed in general, don’t mind her.
loved my time on it!
Idk if you know about it (you probably do) but you can find a less known very large dining area at the aft.
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.

Thank you for the insight. I’m sure that the viewers appreciate your perspective.
I agree we hated the Mardi Gras it was just too big and nothing was close together.
We’re bringing our 3 kids as well, so I’m happy to see it’s very family friendly!
It really is! Your kids will love the upper deck games.
I would definitely go back on the Sunshine out of Norfolk now
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!
Agreed, it’s a great dining room. I like the dancing in this space, my wife does not.
Went in 2004 when I was 11. You revived my lucid memories of it . I wanna go back with the fam!
I hope you do. And if you do decide to go, please let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching my video and for leaving a comment.

Thanks for the video!! All info was greatly appreciated! We set sail March 2nd on Sunshine. Looking forward to it😍
Have fun!
I've been on the sunshine many times great video!!!

I just keep commenting. Haha. Thanks for the tip about the arcade. I know my kids would be blowing alllll my money. 😂😂😂
I hope your trip goes well. We cut each child off at $50.
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.
Have fun on your vacation and I am glad that you enjoyed the video. I hope that as we move out of the pandemic things improve.
Looking forward to my cruise on 5th August.
That’s great. Let me know what you think.
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!!
I would agree. I would splurge and get a room that has a balcony and I personally prefer royal Caribbean.
Iove the sunrise and going out of charleston.we are going to miss it
I heard they were repurposed the dock area and building condos or something like that. That’s a shame. I really like leaving from South Carolina as an alternate port so I don’t have to drive all the way to Florida.
For the production shows, it seems you were on cast change, it’s usually songs plus dance plus backgrounds plus lights and all, when the cast just goes in their black clothes is because they are still rehearsing the full shows or if bad weather/technical difficulties happen :)
Thanks for watching and for the insight because the production shows were horrible on my voyage.
Going on this ship in April I feel like it isn’t as nice as carnival Magic but still excited!
That’s great 😁 Please let me know how it goes.
So how was it? I've been on Magic, was my least favorite of 5 Carnival ships. Pride/Legend were my favorites, Venezia very nice as well. I'm looking at Sunshine for next year out of Norfolk.
Heading out on the Sunshine next week. this will be our 5th cruise on this funship. We love it and hope to venture out and try the other ships in the carnival line up. I agree with 90% of what was said about the ship in this video. Thanks for making it, much appreciated. (hard to get to see the shows as they are sold out) any tips?)
Enjoy your trip and please let me know how it goes. Getting there early is your best bet to secure a seat.

I think you might enjoy it. If you decide to go on board, let me know what you think.

Hi! Love this video !!
How was the food?
Did you pay for fancy dinners?

I didn't see the amazing Serenity area in this review!
I am trying to decide between the Sunrise and the Conquest, any opinion?
I've been on conquest! I definitely feel like it was a lively ship. They have a nightclub on it. It was in 2019, but that was my favourite, so far. And it's still very family friendly
Personally, I would go with the conquest.
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?
Definitely get motion sickness pills ESPECIALLY if you aren't sure...

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 wonder what it would look like after dry dock in 2025?
See you August 5th.
That’s great! I hope you have a great time.
$2 average per arcade game??!?! ridiculous. will book this ship soon, close port to drive
Thank you for watching the video and for taking the time to your comment. Please let me know how your trip goes.
$2 per game in the arcade for 30second games is crazy wow thats ridiculous
Totally ridiculous! Make sure your kids room cards don’t connect to your credit card because they can use their room cards to play games.
Are there any places on the ship where you can get internet without getting the internet package?
Unfortunately no. We lost internet as soon as we pulled out of port.
Carnival is the BEST! Get yer PaRtY oN!👙🕶🍹

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?
I too have heard mixed reviews when it comes to the Wi-Fi package. It’s very much like the Wi-Fi in my house. Some rooms it works great and others. It just doesn’t work that well.
With a ship that has as many as a dozen floors, one can I understand how the Wi-Fi isn’t going to work perfectly everywhere, I’m sorry I couldn’t make this an easier decision for you.
We usually lose weight on the ship. So much walking
That’s hilarious! I just went on a short cruise and gained 5 pounds.
Do they have child watch on this ship? It wasn’t mentioned in the video?
There is a kids club, but I don’t believe they have that feature on board this ship. However, admittedly, I’m not sure.
You said that the ship hasn't been touched in over a decade. This is not true. The Sunshine was last drydocked in 2021.
This dude sounds like a HUGE ASS HATER.... i have family that have gone on it multiple times and they LOVE IT..
Thanks for the information.
itz fun cause they cant dance😂🤣i luvd that
It’s fine just to sit back and watch the dancing 💃 show!
Once the largest ship in the world
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that.
ecspecially
Not sure what you mean
This video was less of a ship tour and more of a scathing review.
Hi, thanks for watching. I am not sure why you would say that. I took you all over the ship and I said the ship is old for the price you pay. It’s not a bad value. I don’t think that’s too harsh.
wow i actually bought 2 dresses for the formal nights of the captains dinners or what not🤦🏻♀️this is disappointing
If you go on a longer cruise, they may have a formal night however, the cruise we were on was for five days and they didn’t.
I've sailed on Sunshine 21 times since April 2023 with 15 more booked😊 I lose weight because of the food 😂😂
Wow, you are a veteran cruiser. For clarification purposes, are you saying you lose weight because you think the food is terrible and you don’t eat it?
It hasn't 21 sailings since then lol. I just looked it up. Stop lol.
@@letsgoseeit457 unfortunately that's the reason 😢
Where the club at
There wasn’t a lot of clubs on the ship. There is a tees club and I’m sure there is a dancehall somewhere area somewhere.
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
Hi, sorry that you had such a poor experience on board. When I was there, there was a fair amount of kids on board. Fortunately, they didn’t do anything to spoil my cruise. Overall, I didn’t have a bad experience aboard ship and I’m sorry to hear that your time was so terrible.
There are rude people everywhere. I've been on several cruises from a higher class to others, and people are just rude. Sorry you had a bad experience.
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..
Hi, thanks for taking the time. Leave a comment. Didn’t realize I was being so negative. I’ll have to take a second look at the video and do a self evaluation. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@@letsgoseeit457 I appreciate the honest review, dont see it as a negative. I'm cruising the sunshine in October and hope they make necessary adjustments
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate the feedback.
Watch me move that towel and bag.
Funny 😆
It saddens/sickens me to think people go to dinner in sloppy attire or stupid ridiculous pajamas.
It’s a growing trend to come as you are. Carnival, I think, wants to make the entire cruise experience, accessible and easy for everyone. However, I do feel that the dinnertime experience should be a formal event.
This is a beautiful 🚢. But it stinks. Please fix the smell 😫.
I do think it really depends on where you stay on board. Some cabins are closer to areas that emit a stronger odor than others.
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.
You do know that ANY business that gets a lot of CARDBOARD BOXES get a lot of roaches...and SOMETIMES outbreaks happen especially when you put 6000 dirty ass people on one damn boat...you'd be surprised to find out how many roaches live in your favorite restaurants kitchen....Lol
Wow! Luckily, we did not see any roaches when we were bored.
so fuckin weird to film people and shit on their clothes choices without them knowing
I am sorry that you did not like that portion of the video. Unfortunately, there was no other way for me to demonstrate my point.
@@letsgoseeit457 could have used words lol
True, I can’t argue with that.
