Your floating resort

When you find yourself between the Carnival Sunshine and some actual sunshine in the Bahamas, Caribbean, Bermuda, or Cuba, enjoyment at sea is guaranteed. Carnival Sunshine has been doused with an extra dose of fun, and there's plenty atop this ship, where you can spend your days being kissed by the warm rays of the sun.

Adventure junkies should try the Skycourse and the Speedway Splash water slide while leisure seekers will enjoy the spa and Carnival's largest Serenity area with plenty of space and even a waterfall. Everyone should enjoy the musical revues up on stage from Playlist Productions, while Hasbro, The Game Show gets families to have fun on stage.
