Out of 7 cruise and 5 ships Ecstasy was our least favorite and we thought the food wasnt great or at least as good as other ships. The sunshine was 10 times better but the layout on the sunshine is funky.

Our first cruise was on this ship back in 2006! I remember it being small compared to all the ships we went on afterwards but it sure got us hooked! Glad you made the best of it.
