I just rebooked. The offer was $100 OBC. We also have $600 OBC. Our cruise contract shows $700 OBC - they gave us both. 

Google says April cruises cancelled. 

Thank you for pictures. We had interior room booked on 12th floor but then saw that youtube video of size and then saw these pictures. Going to change to this room as wow it looks a lot bigger.

I'll add pics to that site. Don't mind sharing.

While I agree with no shorts in the Steakhouse, on the first night it's very casual and we saw several people in shorts and t-shirts. We received an email confirmation stating on first night it was considered cruise casual.

Just off the Carnival Sunshine. We ate at the Steakhouse on the first night. Food was absolutely wonderful and service was great. We were offered a free bottle of house wine or 50% off any other bottle. We drank 1/2 of the bottle and they re-corked it and gave it to us for the rest of the cruise.

We just got off the Carnival Sunshine yesterday. We were greeted by our stateroom steward within the first couple hours. He handed us the card and asked if we wanted morning or evening service. I asked for both. He said fine and I checked the box on the form. He then let us know we may not see him often as he had 34 rooms and they were on 2 different floors. On our 2 final sea days we told him that we just needed morning service, which he did, and our funtimes was placed in a mailbox outside our door. Personally, I think it's unfair for one person (or even two people) to be responsible for 34 rooms. He did a great job and we appreciated him letting us know we wouldn't see him much.

Just off Carnival Sunshine. We were in cabin 11001 - spa interior. Room was very quiet and it is big. May not look bigger on floor plan but our cabin steward said it's the size of a balcony - without the balcony. We were skeptical of the room but we loved it.

I'll make sure to take some and post them when we get back. We are very excited to be on the ship and see the room.

If you are leaving from a port that has staggered check-in, they no longer have the dedicated check-in line.

Thanks all for your comments, we leave for our cruise in 18 days. I spent some time on YouTube watching pier runners. We always take Carnival excursions and I never bring my passport or credit card on shore - just cash.

I'm curious about those that actually miss the ship. Sure, Carnival has a representative at the port but there is so much more to it. Do they help you get a hotel room for the night, transportation to the hotel, do they get a plane or boat for you to get on to your ships next port. What if your passport is in your safe, in your room. What if your wallet is in the safe, with your passport. I'm just curious how things work out for those that miss the ship. Anyone know?

Thank you. I'll make sure to pack in our carry-on.

Depending on how many shoes you take, they can be heavy - I pack those in my airline carry-on. I use packing cubes (love them) to keep things organized in my suitcase as well as in our cabin. I use one small cube for first-aid, another small cube for underwear, also, small cube for electronics (cords, cameras, etc). We bring cards, Uno, Five Crowns, small pad of paper and pen, this all goes in one small packing cube so that it's easy to grab and throw in my beach bag. I purchased the packing cubes on ebags.

We made reservations for the Steakhouse on our first night of the cruise. What is the dress code? Hoping we have our luggage.

We are sailing on the Sunshine February 24. I'm interested in finding out what movies are showing. Anyone?

We saw one in the Steakhouse. The couple next to us are their dinner and then the waiter brought out the dessert (walked by our table) I saw a diamond ring on top. So cool!

We are booked in cabin 11001 on the Feb 24 cruise. Never been in a spa cabin before. Do they let you know what's available to you-included with your spa room?

Room 11001 (interior) pictures anyone?

Hi Hawkeye93 - I'm a Hawkeye too! I take one every night on the cruise. My husband wears the patches but I don't like the way they affect me. Easy to take and I don't have any side effects.

Thank you for such great information. I will be printing out your thread to pack in my suitcase. We will be flying in the day of the cruise. We purchased our flight through Carnival (due to high air prices) they were able to get us a really good deal. My concern is that we won't get into San Juan until late in the day with no/little time to get soda/water from CVS and no time to walk around the ship before it sets sail. Again, thank you for taking your time to help us all preapare for our cruise (we leave Feb. 20, 2011).
