Sad for your experience but if I’m on Vacation, I can be in a mud puddle and make the best of it

I am platinum and people with disabilities ALWSYS hi before us. Wedding parties first, disabilities next followed by diamond and platinum, FTTF suite guests and then everyone else.

i feel your pain...i too was unimpressed with the Sunshine. entertainment subpar, ship was ugly and weird layout, staff unresponsive compared to other cruiselines. only highlights were food, especially Guys burger and comedy shows.
