Review summary

All in all OK, would do it again. Sunshine moving to South Carolina next May, so probably be back on it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had Faster To Fun, when our shuttle from car rental dropped us off, we never stopped moving until we were on the ship. I keep wondering when we would get our Sail and Sign card, did not know they changed how they do that. It is at your room door now.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Only did dining room 1 time, food quality just OK. Buffets were a little better, maybe rate them as good. Did JJ Asian and threw food away.....BAD, under cooked chicken. Pizza was awesome. Guys Burgers awesome.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools crowded, not enough chairs. Serenity crowded, not enough chairs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All shows pretty good, but the Rock and Roll show was the best by far.

Children's Programs

NO Kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room cleaned very good every morning, but did not see room steward but 2 times all trip. Dirty dishes picked up very quick from tables and very clean. The last 2 nights drink waiters seemed to disappear, had to walk to bar several times (which was very crowded since everyone was doing same) to get drinks, very odd they seemed to lose money like that.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Everything very clean, ship is chopped up bad, hard to get from point A to B without going up or down.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Bed very comfortable, plenty of room for 2 of us. Just all we needed. Was kinda noisy, watch what is above you when you book. Buffet above made for a lot of noise.

Ship tip

Watch what is above your room, try to have another room above. NOT restaurant, bar, ect.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

In and out from ship.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Unless you do a excursion, just a water park at port, NO beach.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
Unless you do a excursion, beach at port very crowded, and rough and rocky.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We had FFF, so reported to Liquid lounge at 7:45 as told, crew tried hard and had a good plan, but guests in way to much hurry to leave would not listen. But got off OK.

It all works out, the number from pass transfer over.

Does that affect using our “unlimited” drink program?

Until you get card they use number from your boarding pass.

Hey I saw you had your Sail sign Card at your room now. Did you try to get a drink before you went to your room? Did you go straight from the Breeze way to your room and the sail sign card was already there?
