There was no couch the only place to sit other than the bed was a chair at the small desk. After a series of embarkation issues were resolved-described here-we found our cabin to be a decent hideout. Otherwise, our cabin was fairly pro forma, measuring a snug 158 square feet by our ruler (it felt even smaller). The gaudy design style of the Joe Farcus era has been scrubbed in favor of a clean, modern ambience. Parts of the ship that were not structurally altered, such as cabins and hallways have been brightened and freshened with palm-and-sea backdrops, a style familiar to guests who’ve sailed on Carnival Breeze. Those who sailed on Carnival Destiny will be hard-pressed to find evidence of the old ship-almost no area went untouched. About Our Cruiseįirst, the good news: the revitalized Carnival Sunshine represents a truly transformed cruise ship. The many problems we encountered during the sailing are reported here, and we’ll do our best to avoid re-hashing them in this review, but suffice it to say when we boarded, Carnival Sunshine was definitely not ready for the spotlight. It was not our preference to test Sunshine the first day out of dry dock, but Carnival refused to move our booking to a later date without imposing substantial penalties. This is an awkward review for us to assemble. Carnival Sunshine was definitely not ready for the spotlight.
