About Carnival Sunshine
Carnival Sunshine
The Ship. The Carnival Sunshine began life in 1996 as the Carnival Destiny. After extensive upgrades, refurbishments and reconfiguration which added restaurants, more cabins, and many additional amenities, the ship was rechristened the Carnival Sunshine in 2013. At approximately 103,000 tons, she accommodates about 3,000 passengers.
Dining. In addition to the two main elegant main dining rooms and a revamped and extended Lido Deck buffet, the Carnival Sunshine has a number of themed restaurants. These include the Italian restaurant Cucina del Capitano, the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, the Asian-themed Mongolian Wok, the Guy Fieri-inspired Guy's Burger Joint, Mexican restaurant Blue Iguana Cantina, the Red Frog Rum Bar (serving bar fare for a nominal fee), and a sushi bar. Free, 24-hour pizza is available as always, and 24-hour room service is also provided at no charge.
Daytime Activities. Water activities aboard the Carnival Sunshine include three pools, the three waterslides (including one slide that twists and turns for more than 300 feet!). The adults-only Serenity Deck is a great place to relax and watch the ocean. Duty-free shopping is available onboard, as are other entertaining activities and get-togethers throughout the day. In addition to an Internet cafe, WI-FI is available throughout the ship.
Spa and Fitness. The full-service onboard spa and salon provides a variety of relaxing treatments and therapies. The spa's signature treatment is the Bamboo Massage, where warm bamboo shoots of various sizes that have been soaked in essential oil are used to roll and massage away tension. An outdoor sport court and jogging track are supplemented by a fully-equipped gym that offers weight and cardio equipment as well as fitness classes.
Nighttime Entertainment. Nightlife abounds in 22 bars and lounges featuring different styles of live music, often including everything from rock to jazz to blues, to an old-fashioned sing-along piano bar and karaoke to a disco pumping out dance music into the wee hours. The grand, multi-tiered theater presents Broadway-style revues featuring the ship's talented cast of singers and dancers, and a large casino offers a variety of games when the ship is at sea. Poker games and tournaments are also staged throughout each voyage.
Kids. The Carnival Sunshine also offers Camp Carnival, Carnival's renowned kid's program, which keeps kids from 2-11 engaged in play activities as well as movies and pizza parties during the day and even into the evening (for a small fee) to give parents some time alone). Carnivals teen programs provide a fun and safe environment for teenagers to meet other kids their own age for video game tournaments, parties and other activities. A large onboard arcade is also available separate from the kids club areas, and a mini-golf course on the sports deck adds to the fun.
