skrufy Posted September 16, 2016 #53 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Jamman, have been following your reviews for the last couple of years. We sailed the Sunshines first U.S. voyage. It was the repositioning cruise from N.O. to P.C. We enjoyed the ship very much. Will be waiting for how you felt about the ship. did Ryan sail with you this time?

nybumpkin Posted September 17, 2016 #59 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hi Jeff - Loved the flashbacks. We've sailed the 4- and 5-day Canada cruises out of NYC seven times, but DH is also a teacher so the 7-day cruises have never worked for us. (We need July cruises.):p Looking forward to reading about your travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danixbanani Posted September 17, 2016 #60 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks for reading! Are you going on the 4 day on Oct. 13th? Yes!! Our anniversary is the 14th so perfect timing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbri Posted September 17, 2016 #62 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I was so happy to see your review when I signed on this morning. We have taken 3 cruises to Canada - 4/5 days long. Loved all of them. Your flashback photos are great. Congratulations to Patti on her retirement. I too am a retired teacher so this time of year is especially special :).

cocacola86 Posted September 17, 2016 #63 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I would love to sail past the freedom tower, every time I see the twin towers in movies it brings tears to my eyes and it's hard to believe that there not there.

Ryan didn't want to take a full week off from work, so he didn't sail with us. However, Ryan and I will be taking a long weekend and sailing on the Sunshine together next month.

Crusin Karen Posted September 17, 2016 #70 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Jamman! Been looking and waiting for this! I have tears in my eyes. Your flashback pictures are precious and you can see the love of family and know that all those moments will bring you special memories forever. We did our first CCL cruise on Destiny in 1998 (April) also with OUR 2 boys! So this is really tugging at my heart strings! Keeping fingers crossed that ONE OF THESE YEARS you, Patti, Jim and I can connect on a cruise! ;)Thanks for sharing this and looking forward to the rest!

Maraprince Posted September 17, 2016 #72 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We leave next Saturday. First time on the Sunshine, but not our first time up to Canada. Our cabin is on deck 5 aft and it looks like a lot of bars and activities are also located there. No balcony this time (only an outside), but hey it is Canada! Loved reading your review since it will help us to navigate around the ship and look for some of the areas we do not want to miss. We are hoping to have a M & G and our Roll Call Coordinator is doing everything possible to make it happen by contacting Guest Services, etc. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried since I haven't seen you posting lately. I thought that this was the perfect time to incorporate some of my old photos into the review, so everyone could see Kevin and Ryan when they were little. Ryan is two inches taller than me now! Always glad to have you along for the ride and hope that one day we get to cruise together! :) We leave next Saturday. First time on the Sunshine, but not our first time up to Canada.

Lucky you!! Hope your Meet & Mingle goes off without a hitch. We were so disappointed that ours didn't happen. Contacting GS early on is the way to go. Good Luck!

Rare Jamman54 Posted September 17, 2016 Author #75 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Time to press on with the review. I'm here for the long haul today!! Once on board, we made our way up to our cabin, which was on deck 7 mid-ship…. This was an inside cabin. We chose not to book a balcony for a couple of reasons. Since it would be chilly at night, and we would be in port most of the days, we felt that we wouldn’t use it enough. Secondly, the Canada / New England itineraries are known for the sometimes foggy conditions at sea. If you have ever sailed through fog, you know that they blow that ear piercing fog horn every few minutes, non-stop, even in the middle of the night. We wanted to be as far from the outside hull as possible so we wouldn’t hear it. Our cabin….. The desk area with all our embarkation info on it…… Here’s some info Good to Know for people that want to know….. Here’s a view looking towards the cabin door. The bathroom is on the left and the closets are on the right….. To be continued….. Edited September 17, 2016 by Jamman54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
