Review summary

All in all we had a great time. Emma Nixon is a fabulous CD. Would cruise again on the Sunshine in a heartbeat. First time using Camp And I can't say enough good things about it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I would have given it 5 stars but the parking was confusing. You get in line and drop off your luggage and pay. Then they send you back around to get in the same line again to park. The problem is they don't tell you that you are getting back in the same line. The rest of the embarkation was very quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We ate in the MDR twice and both times the food was very good and the wait staff were very attentive. Guy's burgers was awesome! We also enjoyed the Blu Iguana Cantina. My daughter really enjoyed the omelettes back in the Havana Bar area.

We enjoyed the pool. No problem finding a chair. The serenity area was great. My granddaughter enjoyed waterworks.
