Hi, how was noise level? Beleive it's under fitness center
@cruisetripplanner4 күн бұрын
You are correct, it is under the fitness center. The only time we heard any noise was during the day when the weight machines were being used. It was loud enough to notice. Fortunately, we were out of the cabin most of the time in the day, so it was not an issue for us.

I just returned (11/14/24) from a 5 day cruise on The Carnival Sunshine. It took about an hr to get on the ship after going through all the check points. It is an older ship. However, I enjoyed myself and have no major complaints. My room attendant (Wishnu) was amazing, and I met some lovely ladies who just wanted to have fun. There are some improvements that would enhance this cruise more, but I wanted to have a relaxing good time, and THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I HAD.

Sailing on my 6th Sunshine cruise this November. We love it because we live in Charlotte and can drive to the port the same day. We also love it because of Jijis and Cucina. On our upcoming 5 day - we're eating at Cucina once, Jijis twice and the Steakhouse twice - because we love them all. We love the Havana Bar in the mornings and afternoons as it's a little less crowded than the buffet for breakfast and lunch, plus they have an espresso machine behind the bar so we can get GOOD coffee in the morning without having to go down to Java Blue. Great video!!

One of the things I disliked about the serenity area is the small hot tube. It is always full of people and they should put another one there. there always seem to be 5-6 very heavy people in it all the time (yes I am calling the kettle black) I don't mind other people there but the tube is too small. last two cruises I was on it seemed like they were very understaffed for service. like no delivery to the red frog pub or other common areas.

All the Spirit class ships are designed this way, they were created as "all weather ships" the high glass and pool with a retractable roof are part of it. This allows guest to swim and hang out on deck in much cooler and/or windy weather. They are also lower and thinner on purpose. It can go under bridges a lot of other ships cannot, go to smaller ports and travel through the Panama Canal. The Spirt was a great ship for our Alaska cruise last September with cooler weather (I walked on deck at night with shorts and T-shirt) and it navigated the fjords with ease.

The only thing I disliked is if you don’t pay for excursions the second you get off the boat you are bombarded with 100s of locals trying to sell to you and some of them because very pushy. You can definitely tell there was some tourist traps. Other than that the boat and staff were amazing we met some really nice people.
