Review summary

All in all it was a great cruise. Sunrise is a beautiful ship with lots of activities and fun things to do. A little hard to find your way around getting to the dining rooms and theaters. I would go on the Sunrise again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Long walk after getting off the hotel shuttle with little direction. Hubby has mobility issues and it was hard on him. wish there was wheelchair assistance before getting into the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Long lines at the buffet but that is to be expected. MDR food and service was excellent. Wish they had calamari more than one night.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Mini golf, trivia, playlist production, military appreciation were all fun. Grandson did the rope course and water works.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
CD was fantastic....the Flying Scotsman

Children's Programs

No young children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward (AN) was great and supplied everything extra (hangers, ice) we asked for. Dining room staff was good (we had YTD) so did always have the same one but Pema a waitress was five star.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Hated the layout, trying to go to the dining rooms and having to go through the casino was not good. Common areas clean and maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Did not like the way the third bed ran the same direction as the other beds. Made it very unhandy to get around and felt very crowded. Found out later if in this type of cabin to put the small table on the balcony for more move about room.

Ship tip

Enjoy, it is a beautiful ship and no ship is perfect and will suit everyone.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Flew in and out of Miami

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Did the best of Grand Bahama. Most of the excursion was fun. Driver and guide were a lot of fun. Enjoyed the lunch at the beach.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Did not do all the things listed....seems as if we were always being hurried

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island) Did not visit port

Stayed on the ship. It is mostly a beach and hubby and I are senior citizens and don't like to do a port with a water shuttle.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Had FTTF and disembarked around 9:30 after breakfast on the Lido. Hubby had wheelchair assistance.
