Review summary

Wish the weather would have played nice as Nassau is not one of my favorite ports and Bermuda was prize.but we did make the best of it and still had a really nice vacation.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The process is fast.Not a fan of the terminal but understand they have plans to improve it once the city agrees.lots of drama due to the people who live in the port area.wont fig Carnival for that .the bus situation is okay ..but if you have small children’s make sure to have them removed from strollers and be ready to get on the bus before getting in line.this was not told to us before heading out of the terminal..

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We always love the food on the Sunshine. Lots of good places to eat for us..JiJi is a must no matter how many times we eat there we keep gong back3 times in 6 days. Bonsi sushi love and the prices are really good. Lido of and on for breakfast but dinning room on sea day’s is always a good day. Tacos and burgers are tacos and burgers..good and filling.

JiJi Asian Kitchen

My goodness ,the amount of food they bestow on you is crazy.we normally can’t finish it all . Great choice of selections and it’s always made fresh.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Husband is a huge trivia fan so that takes up most of his day..but they have the crafting at sea which is always fun..we did little water color paintings on this trip.fitness center is always a hit with my husband as he runs and enjoys the views from the gym .pools on this trip we a bit packed but that about normal now days.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Some really good performers and once again love watching any of the play list productions..epic rock is always a favorite

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
The granddaughter seems to always be happy when we take her and she always wants to play longer.they did arts and crafts with her and made a finger painting..

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We have been very lucky when it comes to service.our room steward have always been great.seem to always go the extra mile for us. The waiters and lido workers seem to gravitate towards the baby so maybe that is helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Sunshine for me is my favorite ship.not to big not to small.i know some people are not fans of her and that is fine..we all have out wants and needs and she meets all mine. She does need a little TLC ,but I think that’s true of any ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Inside cabin basic no extras..clean and the air condition worked great. One thing that was new is we had to go to customer service to ask about getting a fan for our room..in the past we were able to just ask our room steward for it.not a big deal but no request were taken over the phone so had to go directly to them and ask..not sure why but it worked out.

Ship tip

My favorite place is the Havana lido area.we play games have lunch and just hang out by the back windows

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Cute city,easy walking and port is close to many attractions in this area.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
They have this down to a science and we always get off early ..not sure how the late disembarkation works but I’m sure it’s fine
