Long Island65 Posted August 17, 2019 #226 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I got off the Sunrise on August 7th and LOVED the ship - Embarkation was a breeze - my check in time was 11:30 - 12:00 - got to the port at 11:40 and walked right on the ship. Debarkation we were off the ship by 10:00 - we did not have priority nor did we carry our luggage off. Had YTD used the HUB app and never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Never had a problem finding something to eat at dinner and we were out of the dining room in anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half - that is fine for us but I understand too long for others. The bar staff were great and there was always someone walking around the aft pool to take drink orders. Never had a problem getting a seat at any of the shows even if we got there 10 minutes before the show. I could go on and on with what a great time we had - if anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer them if I can. Anyone going on the Sunrise - relax she is a great ship! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky3vicky Posted August 17, 2019 #227 Share Posted August 17, 2019 In the pictures I've seen, she looks like a beautiful ship. I have only one question, and it might seem weird but it is important to me. Does the Sunrise have a library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been on Sunrise but I don’t recall seeing a Library on deck plans or videos I have seen for Sunrise. Someone who has been on her can give you a definite answer.

The cafe does have some games and maybe some books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treyatl2006 Posted August 17, 2019 #236 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The mods should either close this thread or atleast change the title. The worst ship ever? People are booked on this ship and this thread title is so negative and could spoil peoples trips before they even get on the ship. There nothing wrong with criticizing a ship. But keep the negative salacious comments to yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted August 18, 2019 #243 Share Posted August 18, 2019 10:30 and being plat may work. For our cruise they started with self debark and had way thru started regular debark thru the aft gangway. It was pretty congested trying to get to our bags..... Their experience may vary, but I would say 11 is safer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lounge chairs up on deck 10 most of the day but around the pool, at least during our cruise, there were not many lounge chairs available - there was a family of chair hogs the whole cruise - grrr - we were able to sit at one of the tables - it was in the shade but after being in the sun while in the pool I really didn't mind getting in the shade and before anyone thinks I was a table hog lol - we would only be in the pool for 10-15 minutes at a time and then went back to the table.

Both pools were crowded on sea days, the aft pool less so. If someone wanders out at 11:30, finding a chair next to the pool will be tough. That said, after lunch, while not tons of empty chairs, open ones would come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who started this thread wasn’t the biggest fan - threads have a way of taking turns some good and some not so good. People who don’t like things can get emotional about them and be very critical. Cruises aren’t always cheap so if you spend good money and are not happy - the comments can be pretty negative.

Rare pyropoodle Posted August 18, 2019 #247 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm trying not to spend much time on all the negative because people tend to complain about things that I would literally never consider complaining about. i'm pretty easy going that way. At any rate, i will find out tomorrow if i like it or not because we sail away TOMORROW. i've been waiting quite a while, and no matter what happens, i'm on a ship and not at my work doing drudgery. will report back when the depression of being back on land semi-passes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
