We recently returned from our 10 night Southern Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Sun with a group of 8 adults. Overall we had a wonderful cruise! As many previous reviewers stated, the crew on the Sun was exceptional! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed our waiter (Gede) and his assistant in the Four Seasons dining room! We requested to sit in his service area every night for dinner. He was so nice and bent over backwards to accommodate several special requests (he was even able to get us Creme Brulee for dessert one night, even though they only serve it in Le Bistro!!) While we were very happy with his service and the quality of the food served, we were totally dissapointed with the lack of choices in the dining rooms. Every night was the same basic menu (including the starters, entrees and desserts) with only a couple new choices. The menu became routine and almost boring. And, yes, we could have gone to the cafe or one of the "pay" restaurants, but why? Cafeteria style is fine for breakfast/lunch, not so much for dinner. And who wants to pay extra to have dinner on a cruise! (We didn't have this problem with other cruises we've been on. Always a new menu every night, to the point, in some cases, that it made it a hard decision what to order because it all sounded so good!) But, we enjoyed our waiter enough to over-look the somewhat dissapointing menu, for the most part.

We had a balcony cabin, mid-ship, deck 8, which was very nice. Only compalint was the lack of outlets in the cabin (one) and that when the wind blew, the balcony door "whistled" terribly! Comfortable bed, good storage spaces, etc. Our cabin steward was excellent also!

The nightly shows were enjoyable. Typical "cruise cast" shows, plus an acrobatic duo, a hypotist, a few comedians, etc. Our favorite was Graffiti Classics (comedic string quartet)! Excellent! The poolside entertainment was good - great 50' & 60's band! Read more
