We had such a great time on the Norwegian Sun!
As with most cruises, the service on this ship was superior. The staff made every effort to ensure the comfort of it guests. There were only a few times I saw people getting aggravated with the staff and it was usually the customers fault. I will never understand why folks are rude to service staff.
The food was decent in the buffet and MDR. ...
I have cruised with NCL a handful of times, and have always been satisfied with the value for your money. This would be my first trip where I don’t feel that way.
To be fair, the weather can never be predicted - but other cruises I have been on with inclement weather seemed to have better contingency plans.
I haven’t cruised on a ship this small or old before, so I definitely will book any ...
I know that my title for the review seems bad but it’s a good thing! Look, there’s no beating around the bush. The Norwegian Sun is an older ship- it’s from 2001 so compared to these new mega ships with water parks, ice skating, parks, and even go kart tracks- it’s hard to match up. But this ship is an excellent small to midsize ship. This ship is great if you are 1. A first time cruiser 2. On a ...
Had a wonderful time on the Sun. This was a short cruise for me, 5 days, but always had something to do. Had previously read negative things about the Sun, but I thought I would see for myself. A cruise it what you make it. This was a joint birthday cruise taken with my grand-daughter, as we share the same day. The food in the MDR, Tepanyaki, Moderno, and even at the Garden Buffet was very ...
First because it went out of Port Canaveral - we live nearby. Also, because the price was right. Getting on the ship was very easy and quick, although it was top time to embark, 1:00 pm. The ship was clean and looked much better than it had when we first took it in 2011. The cabin was clean and compact, lots of space for clothing and stuff. However, the bathroom was a bit cramped - not a lot ...
Great experience just got off NCL Sun. Was very pleased with our overall cruise experience.
Pros: Service in MDR was phenomenal. Ask for Vanessa, she was our server and an absolutely amazing one too. We requested her every meal after night 1 because her service was so great.
Drinks came out fast and were good. Unpopular opinion, I prefer the ship with people being gifted the beverage ...
We are long-term Norwegian cruisers, so the cruise line and this particular ship are familiar to us. We did a Transatlantic crossing on the Breakaway previously and wanted a winter break on it, to try snorkeling in the Caribbean.
This was the first time we used the 'inclusive airfare' package. The flight down on the day of departure worked smoothly, but with little room for error. Prior to ...
We went as an extended family, all adults trip. Both embarkation and disembarkation was quick and smooth.
Our expectations were pretty low both due to some reviews we had read and experience with similar size ships on Princess. We found the Breakaway layout much easy to get around than the Princess experiences.
Almost all of the staff was very friendly. Our room steward was fantastic even ...
I traveled with Norwegian several times however, this was the first time with Breakaway. I was very pleased. This time I ordered an inside room as those tend to be quiet. I was decompressing from the holidays!!
Sunshine : Deck 8 provides multiple seated areas "mostly shaded" for drinks, reading or just observing the ocean. Mornings had a coffee station for early risers as well as ...
I never write reviews but I felt compelled to write one given all the negativity on here. Prior to leaving I was getting a little nervous regarding comments about NCL in general.
Overall the cruise was amazing !
We missed one port and had rough seas one day.... that is not the fault of NCL and I cant understand people who write negative reviews about that. We enjoyed the extra sea day ...
