CruisinArn

We use the cruise for the time to not eat healthy and just relax and not worry about it. At home we do not drink and rarely eat out, everything we make is fresh. No boxes etc.. So when it comes time to cruise.. Drinks and Food. give us more to look forward to when we do cruise. Everything is about moderation, and how a current choice will impact a future outcome. At least that is how I look at it.

The Sunshine is are favorite ship, been on 10 times. 6 of those from Charleston. Going again in Sept. Completely agree with the embarkation/debarkation process, lots of steps involved. But we still have always been sitting in the Havana Bar having our first drink and eating some lunch by 11:30. We love it because it has everything we enjoy and the areas we like to hang out in. I see people say it feels crowded, but we have never felt that. Unlike the Mardi Gras, that feels crowded. Sad to see it going to Norfolk, with no parking at the port, now that appears to be a nightmare of a bus ride from the videos I have seen. A lot of good times on the Sunshine.

We have stayed on Deck5 twice and loved it. And since we love the ocean plaza area it is a great location, low noise and no noticeable smoke smells at all. We even had the cabin that was right behind the Alchemy Bar and do not recall hearing anything. As far as hours, think it states 'late' as a close time. In bed normally by midnight so have not tested that. But wished they still did the breakfast in ocean plaza... was so relaxing vs lido.

The Mexican, but the menu you shared shows it with Patron? Other menu's and how I have always had it is with Kahlua. But my favorite, is to start with normal coffee, and every 5 mins(cheers!) add a shot of Amaretto to it. The slower you drink it the more Amaretto you end up with at the end.
