Sail Date: May 2017

We went on this ship with another couple. While we had a great time there were other ships I would have rather been on. It seems small and chopped up. The public areas are very small and crowded. The photo area was in a terrible place. They also didn't have anywhere to hold photos until you decide what you liked. 2 of my photos I was waiting to decide on disappeared. The "my time dinning" was a weird set up. Had to check in on deck 5 then go down to deck 3. The main lounge for the shows was also small but the comedy club was ridiculously small. Like I said I had a great time but felt like they tried to cram more on the ship and some of it ended up awkward and crowded. I hate that the Sunshine doesn't have fridges in all the cabins. I also hate how there is one plug in the whole cabin to use. Luckily we bring our own cords and power strips

Aruba

We took this tour to get a feel for the island and learn about it from locals. It was also on an air conditioned bus. It was very informative. I didn't realize the island so much sand cactus on it. Lots of information from our bus driver/tour guide. All was good except one rude person who couldn't tell time and thought he was special. Never could manage to get back on the bus in a timely manner.

Bonaire

Took this tour on an air conditioned bus and enjoyed it very much. It gave information about the island and we would know if we came back what we would want to do. The salt mining was so intriguing. Do this tour

Grand Turk

We didn't take an excursion but did rent a taxi for 4 of us for $65 and got a map and drove the island. Doesn't take long! If you do an excursion here make it in the water or just go to the beach!
