He really knows how to narrate a ride using great storytelling that mixes a deep knowledge of wildlife facts and points of interest with local lore in a truly engaging way. He also mixed in lots of hands-on learning, letting anyone on board touch or hold the crabs and fish he pulled from the traps or the many artifacts he had on board. We were also encouraged to give his sweet dog lots of petting and attention. He made sure to give us enough time to enjoy the fascinating and beautiful sites along the way - including a large pod of feeding dolphins. The stop at the island was magical and a great way to break up the journey. We enjoyed a little picnic and taking a long walk along the beach. We also appreciated the great information that we were given in advance about what to bring and expect. All in all, this was a wonderful experience!

We came for the 4th of July Holiday Cruise, so I'm not sure if it's always like this but there are many docks with many different cruiselines and it's very confusing.

It wasn't very organized and not good signage. The staff was nice, boat ride was easy going, perfect for firework show and loved being so close to it. Highly recommend it if you want to be on the water for the show, the cruise was spot on with timing from start to finish which was awesome.

My family just finished two, 5-day, back-to-back cruises!…read more First, I highly recommend doing back-to-back cruises! They make it so easy! You stay on the ship and either stay in your cabin or move cabins. We changed cabins and the change was easy! We packed up our belonging and left them in the room. While we were enjoying brunch, they moved all of our things into the new room. We never got off the ship to see/explore Nassau, Princess Cays, or Half Moon Cay! We LOVED staying on the ship during those days!!! The ship is quiet and you have the place to your self! Note: everyone that did get off loved the beach!!! The food is AMAZING! Guy's Burger Bar exceeded all expectations! Done right is exactly what you get every time! Unlimited Soft Serve Ice Cream is glorious! So refreshing!!!! The restaurants are all beyond AMAZING! You get to customize every meal! And, the Marketplace offers several buffets offering sweets, entrees, and salad areas! Everything is just perfect! The pizza area is glorious (we loved the 4-cheese pizza). The custom sandwich bar is great for making a hot or cold sandwich! The staff is perfection! Joel (sounds like Noel with a J - should be a Team Lead Supervisor for his every attention to detail), Efenfi, and Suraj made every meal perfection! I do not have the words to properly describe their excellence! James Love (Cruise Director) is beyond AMAZING! If James is hosting an event, ATTEND! The comedy on the Ship is worth it! You will laugh so hard you may cry tears of joy, find yourself clapping because you are laughing so hard, and sometimes you will laugh so hard no sound will come out as you loose your breath! Just FUNNY! ! Lastly, the music on the ship is TOP NOTCH! May Bell (duo so good you feel like they should be on a big stage), Marc (a solo act that will make you melt), and a duo that will blow you away! Phew....ONLY POSITIVE VIBES! Most Sincerely, Dayla

I feel like at the time there was a lot of unnecessary walking to keep crowd control down with the lines. Luckily one of the attendants allowed me to cut a line when they saw me struggling. I was grateful to finally get on the ship. Seeing the ship move for the first time is an amazing thing. The ship has a lot to offer. From bars, restaurants, shopping, shows and other activities. I did not go to a specialty restaurant or the sail away party. I will fix that next go round. Nor did I take advantage of getting off the ship. I just wanted to be able to do what I wanted to do which wasn't much. The one thing I really liked was the attentiveness and kindness of the room attendant. He was pretty thorough to have so many rooms to service. The food could stand to be revised. I ate in the dining room most days. I think I preferred breakfast over the other meals. The Buffett was a NO. Big disappointment. I thought there would be more variety and food that had some taste. I know it's hards to feed so many but I just wish it was a little better. I had no problems with the cleanliness of the ship. It is an older ship so some things are not super modern. I will be sailing again in 2024. This is the last year the Sunshine will be in Charleston. They are moving to Norfolk I believe so it's doubtful I will ever be on this ship again.
