Review summary

I cruise with my 2 teenage daughters, 14 and 16, this was our second time on the Sunshine. We had a great trip. It seems like people try find things to complain about on the Sunshine since it is a older ship, but we have really enjoyed ourselves on it. The only problem with the Sunshine is that it is a little harder to navigate than some of the other ships. We have looked into cruising on her again next summer.

The food was good. But it seemed like they had cut back on the choices of food.

I would eat breakfast in the Havana Bar. It is a lot cooler.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

I enjoy Grand Turk because the pool and the beach area is right off the ship.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5

We enjoyed San Juan. But it is not very handicap accessible. My mother is in a wheelchair and it was very hard for her to get around.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Rather than enjoying themselves I think a lot of people just look for reasons to complain. Life is short sit back and enjoy the ride... :)
