I have mixed feelings about this cruise. I've only been on two cruises prior to this and both were with Carnival to the Bahamas.
FIRST IMPRESSION - The port in Seattle was dirty. The check-in process was long, which is usually par for the course. When I finally got checked in and on board the ship I couldn't even go to my room because it wasn't ready. When my room was finally ready they ...
Never cruised with Norweigian before and we kept an opened mind. The steak is a good bet and in general the food onboard was ok. In the Bar and Grill the chicken was under cooked and don't expect the usual Buffalo sauce. This was sweet and thin. Starbucks ran out of dark roast coffee on the 4th day! We only drank dark roast therefore our package was wasted. The bar ran out of Baileys too. Our ...
I last sailed this ship 6 years ago. This is the first time since COVID that I have sailed on NCL, my 25th cruise total and I am Platinum status with them. My fav cruise line has really stopped customer first service. My checkin was 11am, no rooms ready till 3pm so the common areas were flooded, no room to sit, not enough bathrooms. Then the buffet is a bad flow causing hundreds of people to line ...
This was our first cruise and we had a fantastic time on this smaller ship.
The ship was easy to navigate in my husbands manual wheelchair, with issues only happening a handful of times. I would suggest reservations for non-buffet restaurants for wheelchair users due to the limited space between the tables and chairs in most dining rooms. The downside to the dining rooms will be that you will ...
My best friend did the research and found the Sun for us. This was my first cruise so I enjoyed it if for no other reason than everything was new to me. My friend and I met in first grade and have been besties for 64 years. I loved the size of the ship and exploring all the different areas. I had always heard the food on cruise ships was delicious, but for the most part, that was not true on ...

Chose this cruise as a bucket list trip. Arrived to a balcony room that was dirty - fingermarks on mirrors, glass and cabinets. Wiped out the drawers before putting clothes away. Toilet had to be worked on 3 times, but they finally got it. I wrote a complaint to the General Manager and had the Executive Assistant Housekeeper visit while we were cruising Hubbard Glacier. From that point on the ...
I was very disappointed because on our original route we were to have seen Sitka and was replace with Icy Straight Point! I don’t feel like that was an even trade! Excursions were rushed with little time to just visit individual towns beyond excursion time! I’m a coffee drinker and had to go downstairs in am to get my coffee! Coffee should always be in the room.No one likes to get dressed early to ...
Overall the experience was a pleasurable one. Had no issues with the reservation process, embarkation, debarkation, the ports of call, and the ship itself. The staff worked hard to and were eager to serve, answer any question, or help with any issue. We loved the cruise itself, and will highly recommend this cruise to our friends.
Some personnel that went above and beyond.
Entertainment ...
We chose this cruise specifically to see the Hubbard Glacier. The cruise was a huge disappointment from the start. Our balcony cabin was dirty when we arrived. Fingerprints/ handprints on the slider and full length mirror. Stained shower curtain that should have been replaced. Food was generally awful. My first dinner in the main dining room consisted of the world's smallest spinach salad, ...
