Review summary

This was my 5th cruise, first trip on Sunshine and our first visit to Amber Cove and Grand Turk. This cruise was the best to date. The Sunshine is an excellent ship; modern, clean, and inviting. The crew were wonderful in nearly all areas, especially our housekeeping staff, the specialty dining staff, and most barkeeping staff. We booked our excursions through and they were both phenomenal. Plus, they were smaller groups than the Carnival excursions (our Amber Cove Tour had 8ppl and Grand Turk Snorkling was 12ppl.) Carnival always has dozens of ppl. on each excursion. If you are tired of going to the Bahamas, but can't do 7 days, Do this Cruise!
