Review summary

It was our 30th anniversary cruise and we really had a great time.  The ship, Sunshine was a little difficult to find our way around and crew was even a little vague on how to get to locations but nothing that would stop us from traveling on the ship again.

We loved the spa and all of the amenities that it offered.  The staff in there were really nice.

We decided to do anytime dining and did one of the speciality restaurants one night.  Food was good but the speciality restaurant was just ok.

Our steward was great and met every need that we requested. 

Very easy boarding and leaving.

Shows were a little less than we expected but still entertaining.  It was difficult finding out what was available and exactly which location it was being shown.  We usually take in all of the shows available.

All and all the trip was a lot of fun and we really relaxed.  Room accommodations were really good.

Ship tip

Older ship and recently renovated. Very clean and really the right size for us. A little hard to find your way around but do able. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

We did one of the open top bus tours and really saw a lot of NY. A trip to Central Park is also a must. WTC is still very moving and beautiful.

We've heard the same thing about getting around the ship. I try to study the deck plans and familiarize myself ahead of time so I don't spend the first couple of days lost. We sail on her next November

So excited. Going in the sunshine December 2017 for our 30th anniversary also! Glad you enjoyed it. I have been reading so many negative comments. Thank you for encouraging ones.
