Review summary

IN GENERAL THE CRUISE HAD GREAT WEATHER AND DECOR. PLEASANT.

A CRUISE DIRECTOR IS NAMED 'DONKEY' IT IS A GOOD NAME FOR A PERSON WHO DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO CONDUCT A FIRE DRILL OR A DEBARKATION BOTH THESE WERE A TOTAL DISASTER.I CONSIDER MYSELF VERY LUCKY THAT AN EMERGENCY DID NOT OCCUR BECAUSE ME AND THOUSAND OF PEOPLE WOULD BE DEAD OR INJURED.ALSO THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH WAITERS IN EARLY DINING 6 PM IT TOOK 1 1/2 HOURS TO GET MY MEAL.NIGHT 1 AND 2 THEREAFTER I WENT TO THE LIDO REST. I WILL NEVER GO ON SUNSHINE AGAIN.THERE IS MORE BUT I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME!!!!!! CAB 7248

Went on Sunshine in 2014. Debarking was smooth but i have to agree service was way too slow in the dining room. Never got to see any shows because of it. We even tried eating dinner in the lido but the shows were scheduled at weird times so still missed the shows. We still had a good time though and didn't let this ruin our vacation.

We were on the Sunshine April 3_8. It was the smoothest debark we have ever had. If people would do what they are told things would go smoothly.people don't stick to their zone numbers and it causes problems. We were off the ship and on our way home by 9.you are not at McDonald's so sit back and enjoy the evening.

Sounds like there was one true jack ass on the cruise.

Donkey is the best cruise director, we had a blast on his cruise. We did early seating for dinner and had a great wait staff. I am never a fan of the fire drill, been thru way to many of them, but it is required so I have to deal with it. What I don't understand is why so many people complain about their vacation. Attitude.....

Debarkation was bad on this ship with Jamie Dee last year who I think is a great cruise director. It's just something about that ship or terminal that is bad debarking. We sailed Disney Dream in February and that was the smoothest debarking I've ever been apart of. Just because people have a differing opinion than yours doesn't mean they're wrong and you're right.

We were on this cruise. Debarkation was bad because we were so late getting due to the diversion AND all the rude people trying to get off before their scheduled time. Donkey was a blast. I don't think anything could have pleased you!!!
