Review summary

We really enjoyed ourselves and would do this cruise again. The overall staff was great to interact with. Adam was so much fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had FTTF and ended up on the ship 30 minutes before our boarding time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR was very good and Imade, Joseph & Pariana took great care of us. The buffet for breakfast was ok and we only went on port days. My wife did an omelet, which she really liked. The sea day brunch was awesome. Guy’s was great as usual and the Blue Iguana tacos were good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We were always busy with something. Trivia, miniature golf, casino, etc. or just relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows we attended were good. Unity was very enjoyable and very personable to chat with. Adam and Andy were fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had a great MDR group taking care us, always attended to our needs. The room steward was great. See my other comments on them.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Generally, we enjoyed the Sunshine, though the pool seemed very small.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Just a typical inside cabin. Adrian took great care of us. No issues with the cabin. We spent minimal time in the cabin, just to sleep, shower and change clothes.

Ship tip

A cruise is what you make it. Try to enjoy and you will. Try not to have too high of expectations, it’s not the Ritz and you will have fun. Do lots of research beforehand, YouTube is your friend.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
WOW!!! The beach and water were incredible. We had no problem finding a chair. The FTTF sped up the tendering process. We did not eat on the island, so no review on the bbq.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Just hit the shopping area, nothing special. We will have to explore more next time.

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
We will go back just to visit Charleston in the future.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had a brief delay, but CBP had slowed things down for a bit.

When y'all come back to town, deff hit up the Charleston market and the aquarium. Only 5 mins from port and plenty of food options here in town.
