We were on the Sunshine for the December 15th sailing in room 3124 which is at the front of the ship near the excursion desk. It is very difficult to get through to the back of the ship so we would go down to the second floor. Starting the morning of the second day water was running out of the ceilings the full length of the floor with multiple puddles. You dodged the "rain", we initially laughed about it saying glad were were not on the lower floors. Then they started collecting the water in buckets with signs at this point they had the drop ceiling down. The 3rd day the water stopped running and the drying fans were running but the floor stunk of sewage. Again didn't affect us so laughed it off. Day 4 after an excursion get to our room drop off stuff and go to eat. 2 hours later open up the door and our room STINKS of sewage. Thought it moving up the ship but checked the bathroom and bathroom didn't stink. Plumber comes and tells me the smell is in the ventilation system and then maintenance comes and does an air exchange in our room and we can't come back for 45 minutes. During that time I went to customer service to make sure they deal with the ventilation or else my room will stink again. They say come back and we will do the air exchange again… I said NO I don't want a repeat so they put of this air fresher or filter to the vent and no mores stink. HOWEVER now the stink is through out the 3 and 4th floor by the picture studio. By day 6 the ship finally stopped stinking.

NOW the stabilizers… OR should I say lack of stabilizers. We were in the Mississippi River and it was rocking and rough thought no big deal once in the gulf it will get better… It didn't we rocked and rolled the whole time. a couple times the ship jerked and you would bang into the counter or the wall.. (I left the ship with a few bruises) You would get off the ship and you still felt off because you were always adjusting to the rock and now on solid ground it felt off. I have been on 3 previous ships and never encountered this movement before. In fact on the second day around 10 pm we went to bed early and all of a sudden there was a sharp jerk sideways. It was such a big her my kids yelled did we hit something? I said no it is just the gulf but at the same time thought I sure hope we didn't. Our room was under a club and the noise from above was terrible like a heard of cattle stomping.

It was cheap cruise so it is what it is. The ports of Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel were excellent and had a blast. I talk about the problems on the ship and everyone laughs. It is good entertainment to talk about with friends. The ships mechanical was so bad you had to just go with it otherwise if you let it ruin your trip then you lose in the end. Half the time you had to hit the flush button about 5 times to make the toilet work! I can go on but then I might sound over nit picky! LOL Read more
