Norwegian Sun Review
Since it debuted in late 2001, Norwegian Sun has been considered Norwegian Cruise Line's first real innovator. Norwegian Sun was the first ship the line built expressly for the "Freestyle Dining" concept, and raised quite a few eyebrows when it debuted with nine -- count 'em nine -- restaurants. Even its launch was unusual -- the ship shared a splashy dual premier ceremony with Norwegian Star in Miami (how many cruise lines can you remember that actually debuted two new-builds on the same exact date and at the same locale?).
Certainly, Norwegian Sun has evolved and mellowed in the past few years. The ship sparkles from top to bottom with bright colors, happy staff, spacious accommodations and cheerful public spaces. Upon embarkation, I was immediately impressed with the level of attentiveness I received (the ship accommodates new guests as early as noon). I was greeted and directed to my cabin location, and several times was asked if I needed assistance with my carry-ons. Each staff member I passed offered a cheery "hello," and I felt welcome.
In fact, with so many ships and cruise lines from which to choose, it's often the little things that make a difference between a great experience and one that is so-so. For me, it's usually staff and crew behavior that drives my appreciation, and then touches like porcelain cups and real cream at the coffee stations, well-maintained and clean public rooms, attentive room stewards and enjoyable activities for all age groups. All of these factors are present on this ship.
