Review summary

We had a great time, and enjoyed our time on the ship and our ports of call. Looking at a 10 days cruise on the Sunshine for 2021.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Strange to have it in two separate buildings but was efficient and went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good but seemed to have a problem getting our food out all at the same time for a large party. Steakhouse was incredible but waitress there was rude.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not many activities around pool, serenity deck was fabulous. Bingo and comedy club schedule was strange, like both at night and later

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Need some new shows have seem the same shows for the last couple of years.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Stewards was great and did a great job. Waiters were good and helpful. Everyone was very nice and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was clean and well maintained. Serenity Deck was the best I have seen. Easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was very small, bathroom smelled a little of mildew. But was clean and well kept.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

4 out of 5
We left from this port, it was a strange layout and parking is not covered

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful, would differently go there around. Nice lunch and you can use your sign and sail card on the beach.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We have been there many times and always enjoy our time on the beach there.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We had a great excursion there and got to see how someone lives and works there. Had a great meal also. Shopping was good at the Port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Hax to wait for a shuttle to take us to our cars but it went fairly smoothly.
