We have been on 15 cruises and this was one of the best experiences. Getting on in Charleston was very quick. Arrived at 11:25 and we were on the ship by 12:30. Lunch was very good-a lot of choices, some were free at lunch but charged at dinner so take advantage. The ship was clean, nice decor. Very little wear for having 3000+ people on board every day. Entertainment was very good, comedians, wide variety of music, stage shows etc., something for everyone. We had aft cabin 5346, nice location, good layout. Staff was helpful, friendly, and courteous. Lots of seating on Serenity, sun and shade whatever you preferred. Yes there is smoking in the casino but it does not drift down the hall. Our cabin was on the same deck and we did not have any smoke smell. We do not have any complaints. We would sail again on the Sunshine out of Charleston.
