This was not my first time being here, so this review is on behalf of my mom. Took my mom here for her birthday and she enjoyed it! They sang “happy birthday” to her and brought out a cake. The staff were wonderful!

Ship Quality

It could be better. When we first got on, the ship was a little dirty from the previous guests. Our room had gnats in it. But our room attendant, Ariel, kept it clean and got rid of them.

Had a lot of gnats in the room

Ship tip

Make sure to have all of your documents! The embarkation process is very easy! It’s a good bit of a walk to get on the ship, but it’s worth it. Prepay for everything you want to do while sailing on the Sunshine, because the price will go up once you’re on the ship! But most importantly, HAVE FUN!!

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

The beach is BEAUTIFUL! Loved and enjoyed the water, but there was really nothing else to do there. The food was cold and so many flies! I just waited to get back on the ship and eat. Side note: it’s very rocky, so I would recommend getting some water shoes!
