Review summary

The air temperature in enclosed public areas, including restaurants, was uncomfortably cool/cold. Many people, by necessity, wore cold weather clothing in these interior areas. In restaurants, food, intended to be served hot, became cold before it could be eaten. Never once did I see anyone from food service ever check the food temperature.

The quality and variety of food available at the restaurants and buffet was lacking. The menus at the restaurants and buffet were similar from day-to-day, with only minor changes in some categories. New choices very limited. BORING!!!! The temperature in the restaurant did not help the atmosphere.

NEEDS..........

Better control of HVAC. More menu variety.

Loss of DIRECTV signal. Message on screen indicated signal loss caused because of geographical position of ship. Signal loss continued for last half of cruise. Signal loss message was still displayed upon return to NYC port. HOGWASH!!!!!!!

Ship tip

If traveling to an area where outdoor temp is cool or cold. Be prepared for interior enclosed areas of ship to be uncomfortably cool and cold!

@taacman ...Touchy are we? I'm from Florida dear, Orlando to be exact so I'm used to a lot of air conditioning. I was just sharing how I put up with it. If my words had offended you I do apologize.

Was on Sunshine for the first time last FEB. Yes there were some things sunshine did that I did not care for but nothing to complain about to others I was only one of 3000. In fact we are booked for Feb. 2017 now.

I'd rather be cold then hit at least cold u can dress warm when ur hot you can't take off anymore clothes with being naked,also the only issue I had was on the breeze my air in my room wasn't as cold but I still had a great time it's hard to please everyone on a big ship I'm sry but u seem like ur just complaining to complain maybe I'm wrong. It that's what it sounds like.

"theballcat"!!! If as you say "too much air conditioning is a common problem all over the State of Florida" was remotely correct the natives would see that it were cut off. It is not a common problem. Also note that "FREEZING's" profile shows no past or upcoming cruises but commented on a ship sailing north from NYC and your post was about Florida???

Too much air conditioning is a common problem not just on cruise ships, but all over the state of Florida from resturants, movie theaters and school buildings to taxi cabs and public buses. I cope by bringing a jacket. 😉

I find ships' interiors to be cool/cold. I always take jackets and shawls.

I was on the sunshine in sept and had a great time. So many choices for breakfast and lunch. We had no issues with temps but everybody is different

Some people say they are to cold and some say they are too hot. You just can't please everyone.

Cruising and cold weather...just don't go together. Unless I'm going to Alaska.

I would have been miserable. Sorry the sunshine was missing.
