Date of Trip: June 14, 2003
Itinerary: Mediterranean

Overview
OH MY GOD if you don't try the Sunbird then you'v never really experienced cruising!! Who needs the QE2 when the Sunbird is fun, relaxing & an absolute experience!!

Public Areas
Everywhere was well maintained & sitting areas were all very comfortable & pleesant!As I am not a gambler I did not use the Casino but those who enjoy a slot or two would not be disappointed. During my stay on the Sunbird I spent many nights walking around the ships decks where it was peacfull & calming again tidy & clean!

Food and Service
The food was of an excellent standard as I always looked forward to going to the Seven Seas restaurant for my dinner. The service was outstanding as the waiters & head waiters were more than welcoming & very helpful, always stopping for chats about your day on land & giving handy tips for the nest port of call! The food & service was huge highlight of my holiday!

Cabins
Cabins are not huge but you do not feel crampt. Sharing with my friend we both had plenty wardrope space & found the beds to very very comfortable indeed! Our tv in our cabin was great as it had many channels to choose from & a good selection of movies to watch if relaxing in your cabin after a busy night on the ship. Yes you could hear the noise of the ship but there was no need for ear plugs & after all it is part of the cruising experience!

Entertainment
The entertainment was good quality, especially when we had a super comedian on for a few nights. The cruise staff were always helpful & there was always great shows on to go to after your eveing meal. Special shows were also held with crew members taking to the stage to show there talents which was a pleasure to watch.

Activities
There were always plenty of activities happening onboard the Sunbird from linedancing to games on the sports deck & many more. Plenty to do for the kids onboard & fun activities to watch such as ice-craving & towel folding (which sounds silly but actually really quite amazing the end results!) If you didnt want to stay onboard then the itineraries were all good value for money with a good selection of places to visit at each port of call! Also if the tours were not to yur taste then at many ports you have the freedom to do your own site-seeing!

Who Goes
Our fellow passenger were all in the holiday mood & everyone was very pleasamt creating a fabulous atmosphere onboard. We did meet many lovely couples but since we are both 18 we would have rather taken the waiters home for dinner!! I have been on the Sunbird twice & would go on many more times as its very special & just a great experience.
