Hi to all my Cruise Critic Friends. I am writing this review to give you a detailed and current review of the Norwegian Sun in Alaska from July 1-8, 2006. First, it was a great trip with amazing weather. Second, the trip was enhanced by all the great advice given to me by CC people. Reading these boards made all the difference in the world.
I was amazed at the number of people I met on the ship who complained and were disappointed mostly because of their own ignorance. The first complaint I heard was that the food was shabby. I asked Mrs. Beetch (more of her complaining later) where she was eating and she had been grazing at the buffets for all her meals because her family thought the main dining rooms cost extra. Many people never learned about the nice breakfast options at Las Ramblas (the omelette station) or Pacific Heights waffles. I feel like Im preaching to the choir because you all know the importance of doing your homework and learning about the Sun and all the ports before you go. Many people didnt and you will know where to position yourself, where to eat, etc. by following the great advice on CC.
I have the review journal organized by ports with important topics embedded in between.
