Review summary

Cruise ship could stand some upgrades.. Bed and pillows were absolutely terrible. Seems the ships stabilizers did not work very well. This was my 3rd cruise and my absolutely worse one of the three. Dining in the dining room is the way to go otherwise the food reminded me of slop on the buffet.

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was always lukewarm, never hot. Cold food was almost room temperature. Unless you like eating at Golden Coral, the food sucked....

When I called to book a cruise for January they said Sunshine is going to be in dry dock before we leave. She said they're putting new carpets in and and other things whatever that means

Cruised in it December 2017. Restaurants and dining were fine, but the buffet did have problems. I think the ship was revamped within the last 10 years, but it could use some more wldm

Interesting, we thought the food on this ship was better than some, we ate lunch at the restaurants, breakfast from Havana bar and dinner at the restaurants, late night eats were better too. Serenity was our favorite upgrade with all the seating and the pool. Got friends on ger right now taking their 5th cruise on her. I think this ship is either a love em' or leave em' for most people.

Maybe you should try one of the newer ships. This ship was originally the Destiny from the 90s.
