Creator's Key Takeaways

This ship was built in 1996 and it was completely redone in 2013 as the sunshine. And I think they did a pretty good job.

We are in steerage steerage cheap cruise cheap interior cabin.

It's a little chilly towards the end, but you know, we got a little bit late when we left, but it wasn't too bad.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want your drinks to stay cold, don't unplug the chiller/refrigerator.
