The Sunshine was recently refitted so cabins are new and nice. The layout of the ship is a little confusing as cabins were added. The cruise director ( Chris Williams ) was fabulous. The food is not up to par as is the dining room service. Unfortunately we missed two ports due to weather so we spent a lot of extra time on the ship.
Embarkation

The computer where we origianlly checked in to avoid long lines did not send to the main computer. Therefore, even though we had priority boarding, we still had to wait on a ling line to check in.

The cabin was great....everything was new and clean. However, there was a gurgling sound all night coming from the bathroom and it ould not be repaired.

Look for Chris the cruise director's nightly bar show. Tell your waiter to make sure the food is brough up warm.
