Norwegian Sun Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this repositioning cruise because it disembarked in San Francisco which is close to home; we were a day late arriving in Buenos Aires because of a weather delay in Atlanta which caused us to miss our flight; so our site seeing in Buenos Aires was limited; we found a local artisans market close to the cemetery so all wasn't lost because of the delay;
we really enjoyed the Sun; it's a sturdy "little" ship, a bit older; being smaller, getting around was easier; our state room on 7th deck forward was convenient to everything;
ports of call were all interesting; we considered this trip an "adventure" not leisure and we weren't disappointed; the weather near the "Horn" was very rough; high seas and winds; the captain managed, however, to get us close enough to see the "Horn"; booking shore excursions not offered by NCL was a challenge but we managed to book some interesting tours on our own; Punta Tombo was amazing; walking tours in Montevideo, Port Stanley, Ushuaia, Valparaiso and Antigua were informative and afforded us an opportunity to visit "off the beaten path"; not to mention affordable;
Cabin Review
Inside
comfortable, small as expected; everything worked; NCL stewards are the best!
Port Reviews
Buenos Aires
stayed in Ricoleta; nice area in which to walk
Punta Arenas
walked around; attended chuhrch services and found a great little restaurant to have lunch
Puerto Quetzal (Antigua)
taking the bus ride into Antigua was worth the cost; we met up with a young American woman who had been living in South America for several years; she offered a food, walking tour of Antigua which was excellent; street food was great and the tour was informative
Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego)
walked around; took the "Blue Bus" ride around town
Cabo San Lucas
walked around; good food and cheap drinks every where
Los Angeles
we were required to disembark; the embarkation was delayed several hours and information was conflicting; we could have spent the time more productively walking around the port area
