We were celebrating our 40th anniversary. I am in a wheelchair and was worried about being able to get around, no problems there. People were so nice and considerate. We didn't move around so much, as to stay out of people's way. When we booked the cruise, I read online that we could bring 2(750ml.) of wine onboard in our carry on luggage. We ended up having to check that bag, because it was too big for me to carry and my husband wouldn't be able tom push my chair. It was supposed to be served with our dinner with a corkage fee.If someone had been there to help us when we arrived, we could have avoided this whole situation.We finally got our bag around 10:00pm. There was a letter attached. It basically said that no alcohol is allowed in carry-on and checked baggage.We could have gotten it back on the last day of the cruise, but wasn't worth the humiliation.

There was a gift card in our stateroom for dinner in one of 2 restaurants. Our steward left us a $50.00 gift card for the spa. Overall it was a very good cruise. Guy's burgers were awesome. Lido Market was good, not great. Cuchina del Capitano was good. The entertainment was awesome, from the hypnotist at Viva Variety to the Love and Marriage Show to the Epic Rock Show on the last night of the cruise.

I read a lot of negative comments before we sailed that just weren't true. I went back and read them again, and I have concluded that these are people that travel a lot. Some have cruised more than 20 times. Melessa was our cruise director. She did an excellent job! She has quirky little laugh that becomes contagious. If you're sailing on the Sunshine, you're sure to have a great time. Even with the wine mix-up, I would still sail with Sunshine again, hopefully next year.
