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.

I Had the Time of My Life!
This was our first cruise as a family, and we had such an incredible time, that my husband and I (and our kids) did not want to leave. I couldn't believe how seamless and well-organized everything was. Boarding, excursions, daily itinerary, and disembarking - everything ran like a well-oiled machine. We could not have asked for a better Room Attendant. Sidik went above and beyond, and honestly, by the end of our cruise, he felt more like extended family. The entertainment was... so far beyond my expectations. I could not believe the caliber talent, not to mention the quality of the shows. I told my mom the minute I got back that she wouldn't have believed it. It was quite literally like watching Broadway at sea - and I've seen two (actual) Broadway shows. The food was consistently delicious, the crew treated us like they had known us our entire lives. They were fun, kind, and always put safety first. We met the Captain multiple times. He made it a point to talk to as many people as possible, each day. Our Cruise Director, James Love, was absolutely everywhere, all the time. I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep! He was so fun and engaging and really made the cruise entertaining and each day an absolute blast! The excursions were just amazing! We could not have asked for a better vacation. The first thing my 15-year-old and 9-year-old asked my husband and I when we got to the car: "When can we do this again?!" We are so pleased with our time on the Sunshine and in the Bahamas, and are already planning our next cruise with Carnival. If you're thinking about cruising - do it!

Best Girls Trip
A perfect girls trip. I enjoyed all tha Carnival Sunshine had to offer us. We were greeted withe excitement and enthusiasm. The cruise director kept us busy al day and night. The food was just right. Something for every oallet. I tried new things and was satisfied with the wuality and quantity. I explored the shops and everything was reasonably priced and goid quality. The maintenance staff was always busy keeping everything clean and sanitary. Guest services was aways ready to answer our questions at all times. One night was a rough ride on the sea and i needed help with motion sickness. The medicine was provided without hesitation. The staff was excellent, K our room attendant kept everything clean. The food staff fantastic, Mega, Henry, Ryadi all were great. The chef was amazing. The entertainment was exhilarating. The room was comfortable and spacious. Each port was a great experience.

10/10 Carnival
Just went on this cruise with my dad, stepmom, brother, and little sister. We came from Grand Rapids Michigan drove to Virginia which was about 12 hours. Were used to long drives lol. Once we got on the cruise I could feel the good vibes coming from the workers and our fellow cruisers. Everyone’s there for a good time and it definitely was! We visited Grand Turk, Amber Cove, and Half Moon Cay my second Cruise ever. Such a great time, the people, the food, the drinks of course! When it comes to being scared of big boats and at some points only seeing water around you I know how you feel. Trust me most of the time you’re on board you don’t even remember you’re on a cruise ship. And apparently you’re safer on a cruise ship than you would be on land when it comes to hurricanes/bad weather. The ship has the technology to know when those things are going to happened well before it comes close to the ship. The captains would just drive away from the storm if they need to. Felt safe and welcomed the whole time aboard. But Tasha, and Kevin down at the Red Frog made it so much better. Missing them already 10/10 Carnival I’ll be back for sure!
