Welcome to part 1 of our 4-part, deck-by-deck, comprehensive tour of the Carnival Sunshine!
In this video, we’ll cover Decks 0 through 4.
The Medical Center is located on deck zero, at the front of the ship.
The staff members are on-call 24 hours a day for emergencies.
The center itself has regular hours for treatment of routine medical conditions and for guests
wishing to purchase over-the-counter medication for minor illnesses.
Services are billed to the your Sail and Sign Account.
The Medical center can be accessed from the forward elevators or stairs.
The art gallery is tucked away in a small space behind the glass elevators near the
front of deck 2.
A variety of collections are featured from fine art to limited edition prints.
Guest Services is located in the front of the ship on deck 3 in the atrium area.
Guest Services functions much like a hotel’s front desk.
Staff can assist you with questions regarding your stateroom and your sail and sign account.
The Shore Excursions desk is also located in the atrium area on deck 3 forward.
Shore excursions can be booked prior to sailing.
However, if needed, the shore excursion staff can assist with the booking or cancellation
of shore tours once you’re on board.
The bottom floor of the Sunshine Atrium is located on deck 3 forward and is the home
of the Sunshine Atrium bar.
It is also is a venue for the Captain’s Toast celebration and the after parties that
follow the late seating of Playlist Production shows.
Off of the atrium is the small Dreams Studio office where you can book one-on-one photo
shoots with the ship’s photographers.
The personalized photo sessions are done around the ship or in the ports-of-call.
Off of the atrium -- on both sides of the ship -- is an outside deck area that is not
frequented by guests.
The Sunset Dining Room on deck 3 forward serves dinner for guests assigned to early or late
night dining in that venue.
On our cruise it also served as the location for other activities, such as the Champagne
Art Auction and the Dr Seuss Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast.
The ship’s galley -- or kitchen -- spans the entire width of the ship on deck 3, so
guests simply cannot walk the ship’s length from forward to aft -- or aft to forward -- on
deck 3.
The Sunrise Dining Room on deck 3, at the back of the ship, is the location for guests
who have chosen “Your Time” open seating dining.
It can be accessed from the elevators and staircase at the back of the ship.
Check-in for Your Time dining is on deck 5 in Ocean Plaza.
Deck 4 forward is the lower floor of the the Liquid Lounge, which is home to the popular
Playlist Production shows, bingo, and several other shows and activities on the ship.
At night, it transforms into the Liquid Night club for late night dancing and music.
The Pixels Gallery is located on Deck 4 forward, in the atrium area, and sells both candid
and posed photos taken of guests.
At the time this video was published the Carnival Sunshine did not offer digital photo services
that are becoming popular on other cruise lines.
The Library Bar is also located in the atrium area on deck 4 forward.
Popular with families, the space has books and board games for you to use, as well as
a self-dispensing wine machine.
On our cruise it served as the location of the Chef’s Table culinary experience, which
was available for an additional fee.
Piano Bar 88 is located midship on deck 4 and is the home of piano bar sing-alongs in
the evening.
Bonsai Sushi is located near the Piano Bar on deck 4 and offers sushi for lunch and dinner
for an additional fee.
Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse is located across from Bonsai Sushi on deck 4.
This additional fee restaurant is open for dinner and specializes in premium cuts of
meat as well as seafood entrees.
The Limelight Lounge located towards the back of Deck 4 is the home of Karaoke and the Comedy
Club in the evenings and other activities during the day.
The Sunrise Dining Room on deck 4 at the back of the ship is the location for those guests
assigned to early or late night dining at that venue.
On our cruise it also was the home of Afternoon Tea on sea days.
That wraps up Part 1 of our tour of the Carnival Sunshine.
