Review summary

This was probably one of the best cruises I have ever done I know every cruise experience is different though but I would recommend sailling on this ship and iternerary if available.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was very easy I thought it was going to be complicated because you have to get on the charter buses but the process was actually faster than any port I've been to I love the port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I enjoyed all the ships food the only time I say the food wasn't it's best was on embarkation day and I think that is just because the crew was being overwhelmed by the crowd of people boarding the ship but was still good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was plenty of activities and I was never bored on board.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the deck parties and the teen club I did not have an opportunity to go to any of the Broadway shows so that's why I'm giving four stars.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
I was in club O2 and I love it made a lot of great friends and I had a great time this was probably one of the best teen clubs I've ever been to on a cruise ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was extremely friendly there was maybe only two crew members who seemed rude but everybody was friendly and very helpful the entire voyage.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean in my opinion and the design was very easy to learn my way around the ship I believe the ship is well-maintained yes there was a little bit of rust here and there all but that is understandable for any ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was always well maintained and clean my only complaint was it was very crowded in the cabin with three people staying in it and there was not much room to move around I would not welcome in this cabin to anybody who is very claustrophobic but for me it was enough as I was only in there to sleep. But I do highly recommend it for someone trying to get a cruise for a very good price and is only in the room for small amount of times but I only recommend that if two or less people is going.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Debarkation was extremely fast and very smooth the only thing I did not enjoy was getting off the ship.

I love Sunshine. I took her last cruise out of Oort Canaveral in May and it was my 4th cruise on her. The specialty restaurants are awesome. The ship is easy to get around and the crew is awesome.
