The aptly named Carnival Sunshine has plenty of activities to help you with your tan. This ship has something for everyone, from thrilling water slides at Carnival WaterWorks to exciting games and activities at SportSquare, like mini golf, ping pong, and a ropes course high above the deck.

Catch a live show, laugh at the Punchliner Comedy Club, or challenge your friends to a game at The Warehouse Arcades. When it’s time to eat, you’ll find plenty of tasty options, like burgers from Guy’s Burger Joint, tacos at BlueIguana Cantina, or delicious meals at Cucina del Capitano and JiJi Asian Kitchen.
