Creator's Key Takeaways

I had low expectations coming on this ship. I was pleasantly surprised.

The cruise ship was I was anticipating a smaller cruise ship because of the bridge, the Sunshine Sun.

Entertainment was fantastic.

The casino dealer was saying that they had transferred over from another cruise line and here they only work a maximum of eight hours where on the other cruise line it was 14.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay towards the middle of the theater for the best views during shows.
Use the ship's paper schedule to plan your day since there is no app.
