SammySH Posted February 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We just got off the Sunshine with a group of 14. None of us had a full length mirror in our cabin! We are used to a full length mirror inside one of the closet doors but there weren't any at least in any of our cabins on level 2. We've been cruising for over 20 years and have seen a lot of cutbacks over the years. It's sad to see things change and I am not one who usually complains but every time we cruise we notice more and more cutbacks. Also, no more chocolates on our pillows. Although the changes may be small every year, what will cruising be like in 10 years from now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewMuch Posted February 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Base price will be buffet only. MDR access will be an add-on premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missy428 Posted February 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Taking all the mirrors and replacing them with smaller ones would cost Carnival money not save them money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierpop Posted February 15, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Interesting what is important for people. I couldn't tell you if there has been a full length mirror in any cruise I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHS123 Posted February 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Maybe Carnival will add full length mirrors to the Carnival Cabin Comfort Menu and when you tick the box for a mirror the steward will prop one up against a wall in the cabin for our use during our cruise vacation.

missy428 Posted February 15, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Who said anything about replacing them with smaller mirrors?:confused: The Carnival Sunshine isn't a new ship so either it never had full length mirrors or they replaced them all with smaller ones. If it never had full length mirrors I could see how it might be a cut back but the Sunshine was launched in '95 I was under the impression all the Carnival cutbacks is a new thing...

AHS123 Posted February 15, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Been on 20 and I couldn't either! So says the typical male who never uses a full length mirror at home and for whom the issue is moot ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted February 15, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Interesting what is important for people. I couldn't tell you if there has been a full length mirror in any cruise I've been on. You're right, different things matter to different people. I, like the OP, can say with certainy that there has been at least one full-length mirror in every cabin in which I have sailed, on every cruiseline. And it does make a difference to me. I dress for dinner. I want to take in my full appearance before stepping out for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the OP again. There was absolutely no mention of there being a smaller mirror in the closets. Just no full-length mirrors at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Dutch Girl Posted February 15, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have never ever noticed the mirrors on any cruise ship...except if there just isn't one (but there always is). Unless all the mirrors broke at once I suspect it would cost more to remove them then to just let them stay...seems weird that they would yank all the mirrors off the Sunshine.

sanmarcosman Posted February 15, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 15, 2016 They don't want you to see how much weight you gained. This used to be true but now Carnival doesn't want us to see how much weight we've lost because now we only pick at the blah food served in the MDR.

kicia Posted February 15, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not all ships have them. Apparently the Destiny did not and they were not added when she became the Sunshine. I can't remember which classes have them and which ones don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember which classes have them and which ones don't. Oh, thanks for that info.:) That clears things up. I guess I'll add that to my mental list of reasons not to cruise on Sunshine.

Carnival is just doing cruisers a favor, keeping them healthier. But for those who don't have good range of motion in the neck area, I can see why a full mirror is important.

summersigh Posted February 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 15, 2016 DH and I are both scratching our heads - the only ship we can clearly remember having a full length mirror in the cabin was the Queen Mary 2 :confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatherhudson15 Posted February 15, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We were on Deck 11 two years ago and had a full length mirror. I wonder if it will be there in a few weeks when we sail on her again. Come on March 5th!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted February 15, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) For the record, I never said anything about the full-length mirrors being replaced with smaller mirrors. I said this: "Seriously? They're taking away the mirrors now?! This is not something I can 'DIY', like bringing my own tea bags and mattress topper. I sure hope this is a fluke or something. Or is it just another crappy float in the never-ending parade of Carnival Cutbacks..." No mention of small mirrors at all.

CARNIVALCRUISE3 Posted February 15, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The Breeze and Victory have them. I always use it to get ready and apply my make up. The Ecstasy did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
