First time with Carnival, need help with Sunshine cabin please

[Debbie London]

Hi All, Hope someone can help with A Carnival Sunshine cabin question as this will be our first Carnival cruise (4 previous cruises with Royal Caribbean).

I am looking at an obstructed picture window cabin on either deck 6 or deck 3 but have concerns with both looking at deck plan. I like 3 as it is close to amenities etc but worry about being below Liquid Lounge, but 6 is directly above and most forward you can get. Any assistance greatly appreciated please.

Try googling and changing the ships name to Destiny. The Sunshine has been rebranded and had a makeover and changed it's name.

 

I can't help with the OV rooms, but the ship is very nice, we sailed on her back in July.

 

I wouldn't stay anywhere near the liquid lounge. I am sure I have read reports about problems with noise.

 

We stayed in 8117, a balcony and this was fine. If I stayed on the ship again, I would stay more aft on deck 8. My sunbed was also at the aft of the ship, this is where the teen club, water works and Havana Bar are too.

I agree with avoiding lounge if possible. I had a room above lounge on Victory and since it was a aft wrap it was ok, but had to life with some pretty annoying noises. If I had a choice would pick differently. I aim for cabins above and below if at all possible.

 

On the Sunshine I was in room 2347 a 6B aft oceanview and it was lovely. Picked it because it looked larger, which it was. Pretty sure it will have been snapped up but a good one to grab if available.

 

You'll enjoy the ship. Aft was great because it is a short hop up the elevator to serenity deck and often more importantly Havana and lido. Enjoy. Had a great time on the ship and thought the dining areas were great with how spread out they were. The Havana area always seemed less crowded and very comfortable, felt like a restaurant and not a ship cafeteria.

 

I used the Destiny to check rooms also, still a lot of pics and while may be different will give you a feel for things.

We are booked in room 2347 for the Jan 26 cruise. I am curious about this room. Any pictures?

If you guys want decent Deck Plans, start here on Deck 3 for Sunshine...

Play with the drop down menus at both bow and stern ends of the diagrams

to move from deck to deck..
