Review summary

This is the worst cruise I've taken!!! People running in the halls at the wee hours of the night with no consideration for others!!! Security had to be called nightly, are you serious the crew seems to be busy in their job, that they just turn their face and don't care.

We liked it. The CD, Jamie is awesome! My time dining was good. The new Internet package was wonderful. I know its vacation, but we have a business and we have somethings we need to do while we are away. The only thing I didn't care for was the seating by the casino. The Glory and the Liberty had the seats all along the windows beside the casino, but the Sunshine doesn't. I don't play, but my husband does, so I would have to use one of the slot machine chairs and sometimes they weren't available. It was just a inconvenience for me. it wouldn't stop me from going on her again. Hope you have a great time !

We were on the Sunshine in January on the 1st level right by the back set of stairs and elevators. No noise problems for us. I was concerned about hearing the motors running, but it was ok. We had just one morning we heard the motors or "whatevers" getting ready to dock and that was ok because we needed to get up anyway ;)

I also had a room near the stairs/elevators on the Miracle a few years ago and it was loud! This time around I chose my own room on the Splendor further down the hall, I sail on the 29th as well!

The time of year your cruise is taken also determines the age, hense restlessness of passengers. Try Nov thru Feb before you give up. Totally different.

we had a room on deck 7 7415 which is in a noisy area if you go toward more in the back is a good area our first cruise on this ship it was great never heard any thing. We just got back this past Tuesday we I heard and saw some security in a room taking pictures there were some younger people on the ship but that is going to be any cruise you go on.

So sorry to read that this cruise did not meet your expectations. Sounds like some of your issues had to do with thoughtless passengers. Perhaps the crew members were intimidated by the noisy passengers and were afraid of losing their jobs if they confronted them. From your review, the only parts of your cruise that you enjoyed was San Juan & St Thomas. I hope that future cruises go smoother than this one. Perhaps you might consider sailing on a newer ship and a different cruise line? Thanks for posting your first review here.

Not what i want to hear going on my first cruise, was this because of the location of the room you were in?
