My husband and I are scheduled to enjoy The Chef's Table on the Sunshine next November 2018. I don't know if the menu will be the same but the experience sounds like it is worth every single penny.

Got back today from cruise and on Tuesday (sea day) my husband and I took advantage of getting our teeth whitened. I must say we were so impressed.

First off the price is normally $149 but....if you wait there will be a $99 special. That is the lowest they will go and remember all spa treatments include grats so that $99 plus the tip.

It doesn't hurt at all and you can go on and eat drink no sensitivity problems (and I have sensitive teeth). I also have a partial plate and they used the Go Smile system on that too. The end results? I went 6 noticeably shades lighter. My husband 4. They do try to get you to purchase the complete at home kits. I said no and no pressure. Saw the at home kits for $49 and will grab that from Amazon.

My recommendation is "Try it you'll like it"!!!!

Our inside on the Allure was almost the same size as an inside on CCL. However, I could see the importance of having more area in a cabin on CCL as you'll spend more time in it. It gives you a place to rest when you are tired of the long lines on the lido deck, the huge mobs of people on the promenade deck and pool area. Also, with a lack of entertainment and activities, you can sit in the room and watch the colorado feeds on the TV- wow!

We really didn't spend much time in our room as, along with the ports, we had a lot of shows to see, rode the flowrider, merry go round, attended the parades, got pics with dreamworks charactors, etc.

This new CCL ship looks like a continuation of CCL trying to cram more people into an old design, nothing at all innovative.

I remember when the sunshine came out, you said that the it would not be crowded, that CCL's cracker jack team of designers would make a crowded ship feel less crowded by adding 400 more people to it- yeah, we all know how that went.

If you look at the cruise as a glass half empty you won't enjoy anything. I just happened to finish a cruise on the Sunshine and had the most fun I have ever had on a CCL cruise. Attitude is important, life and cruises are what you make it. When you have a line, think about the passenger in the wheelchair who would give anything to be able to stand and wait in the line. Get the point!! I found that with two of us in the cabin (most people travel in couples) the space is plenty big enough. Maybe you need to fly on the roomy airplane and go right to the resort where you can sprawl out and stay in one place and hope you can find food, entertainment, etc. all in one area!!
