I have my first cruise on the Sunshine coming in May of this year & I do deal with motion sickness so I may be buying me some bonine too. I love listening to all of these reviews & trying to kind of get a layout of what I will or won't be doing. I saw you showed a SMALL portion of your room but could you tell me how open is it & the bathrooms? I booked a room on the 8th deck & a balcony but just wondering how much space they have in the rooms & bathroom (I'm also a little on the claustrophobic).

I was on the cruise with you guys and my experience was very similar across the board. Still had a blast and will go back soon. Great and accurate review.

​@AdventuresAhead i hear its awesome....but even tho its 3 floors, considering amount of total adults on the boat, its always VERY crowded...basically have to get there like 8-9am to get a good spot or any spot. True??

Always appreciate your review videos - you both keep it real and are very relatable. The ashtrays, ugh! I hate when a great machine opens up, so you hurry over to get in the seat and then realize there isn't an ashtray in sight. Cruises we've taken that have fully no smoking casinos just aren't the same experience. I know it's a stinky bad habit, but smoking/drinking/gambling go hand in hand. And I stay in the casino longer, losing more of my money ... which is what they want. 😉

Thanks for watching and commenting!! I agree with you… I play longer when I’m smoking so I would think that carnival would want my money! 😂

yup I actually got seasick on the second day due to the constant rocking that sent me and my friends uncle into a wall while walking in a hallway. at least 4 hours of the trip was waiting on elevators, and another 3 hours walking to our destinations aboard the ship and on land. Next time I go to the Bahamas we are flying

I'm so glad you were HONEST, LOL! Nice job on the review. Still sounds like a great cruise, even though it was a short one!

You’ll have a great time on the sunshine. Josh and I always say the cruise is what you make it. Although there were things that didn’t go as planned and things we didn’t enjoy as much, we still made the best of our time! You’ll have a great time! I think gold status can get a pin… I’m actually not sure if anyone can get a pin. It’s a vifp perk. We got ours from the pixels gallery… it’s worth a shot asking or you could look up the vifp perks on carnivals website. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great cruise!

I had 2 cruises booked on this ship before I sailed on it. Couldn't wait for the second one to be over. Didn't like the ship the first time but muddled through the second. Never again.

You take Bonine once a day, and it does cause drowsiness in some people, so it's a good idea to take it at night to minimize any effects. :)

It's SOOOOOOO rocky... The only ship I have ever been on that made me feel sick. I feel bad for people that are super sensitive to it. I have been on the Sunshine 2x in the past 9 months and both times it was horrific.

It was definitely a rocky ship. All cruise ships aren’t like that and we take Bonine (it’s a sea sickness medication) to help when it is rocky! Hope this video was helpful!
