Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comparative look at two different cabin types experienced during a back to back sailing on the Carnival Sunshine. The first accommodation was a category 8c balcony room located on deck seven aft on the port side. This room featured a small refrigerator, a balcony with a table and two chairs, and extra storage because it did not share a door with an adjoining room. The creator notes that the Pullman bed setup made the sofa difficult to access. The second accommodation was a category 6a oceanview stateroom located on deck one. While this room lacked a balcony and a refrigerator, it offered more interior floor space because the balcony was not part of the floor plan. The creator observes that the oceanview room was further from scheduled activities but closer to the gangway and experienced less ship swaying. Both rooms included standard amenities such as a shower, safe, hairdryer, and television. The television provided complimentary movie channels and information about the ship itinerary, though network programming was only available when near United States territories. Both rooms featured similar bathroom amenities including shampoo, shower gel, and hand soap.
