Anyone recently on Sunshine notice sewage smell?

We are booked on the 6/30 cruise. The Sunshine is in the middle of a 2 week drydock now. So if there are any issues they should be fixed before she heads to NYC. We can't wait. 45 days to go :)

 

New to ships, are you? Don't necessarily count on it being fixed!

Just returned last week from a 5 day and 9 day B2B on the Sunshine. No sewer smells this time, but as someone else mentioned, we have had fleeting experiences on many ships.

 

There was 1 Elegant night on the 5 day and 2 on the 9 day.

WE just sailed on the sunshine two weeks ago on a 9 day. We were on 10 forward , no smells there and did not notice anything anywhere else on ship

Just came back from our first cruise on Sunshine April 16-24 and we loved it! Never smelled any off odors or sewer smell. We were on 6th deck balcony directly over the Fun Shops. Worried because casino on deck 5 below but our room was so quiet. Never even heard our neighbors or their TV! It was exceptional! Our steward Paul was so attentive and in Our Time Dining we asked to be in a certain section because the wait staff there were outstanding (and funny) Ketut, Alejandro and Kim - what a great bunch! Sunshine came in late Saturday into Pt.Canaveral because of a detour to Bahamas because of a medical emergency onboard (staff member) so all passengers waited about 2 hours to board. Talking with others they said this was not usually the case. All passengers, Platinum, Diamond and FFTF all waited together - no advantage this time. However, even in the midst of that, boarding was done efficiently and without chaos. All waited together and bottled water and snacks were provided. We were on board about 2:30 after arriving at l2:30 and they called one deck at a time. Only downer for me was the amount of kids on board (600) as some schools even in mid April were on Spring break. Mainly 8 to l2 year olds (seemingly without parental supervision?) jumping from pool to the two hot tubs and completely monopolizing them. Thank goodness for the Serenity deck and pool! Food was delicious, room service prompt - had it 2 mornings for breakfast to get early port day start. So impressed with the organization on port days etc. Musical shows were well done and performers very talented but music was LOUD! haha. Thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days to Eastern Caribbean and plan to be Carnival cruisers from now on. Can't beat the price compared to other lines in my opinion. Can't think of one negative about our trip even with the delayed boarding and wait. And in attending a talk about Shore Excursions I even won one to St.Maartens on a Catamaran and snorkeling trip on the Golden Eagle - it was wonderful and I checked off #l on my bucket list to swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters with tropical fish.:)

We just got off this week from the 5 day Bahamas post dry dock cruise in cabin 7277. We did not smell any bad odors in our cabin or in the halls (except the Carnival Marinara Sauce shortly before dinner) :D:D

 

The only things we noticed that were different from our Jan 8 cruise on her were a new thermostat in our cabin, a new shower curtain that still didn't keep the water in the shower stall and new ice cream/froyo machines at the Lido doors. Thus we can only hope that the majority of the 2 week work time was on the plumbing ?????

Heck, just book a room at the front of the ship. That way you'll be "upwind".

:D

The sunshine gets unfairly attacked of this for years from a post. I have sailed her twice and never smelled anything or a problem. It's all hype that doesn't add up. It's a great ship and its fun.
