Just back from a great cruise out of Tampa on NCL Sun. Cruise was 4-5 / 4-12-15. Group was three middle 50’s (Myself, DW and my sister) and one 23 year old our DD. Following is a summary of our trip with a few opinions.

Sunday – 4-5-15 - Arrived at terminal around 11:30, dropped off family and luggage then parked at park4cruise. $60 for the week is ½ of the terminal parking and an easy walk to the terminal or a 2 minute shuttle. Met up with family for about 5 minute wait through security, about 10 minutes in check-in then straight on ship. They had just called open boarding a little before noon. We stopped by La Cucina (6:15) and made reservations for it and Teppanyaki 6:30 (which had shown no availability online) for our two at sea day dinners. Stopped by the excursion desk to make sign up for Chacchoben Ruins Tour in Costa Maya. We had two window rooms on deck 5 – 5205 and 5211. They were ready so we dropped off our carryon bags and went to Four Seasons for lunch. I had the fish and chips which for me had too much batter. Family members had the chicken nachos which looked good (and were from my sampling). Went to Observation Lounge & Deck for sail away which was right at 4:00. Went under the bridge a little after 6:00. We ate dinner in the buffet for the prime rib which was excellent. Went to the welcome show in Stardust. Was okay, Richie Minervi was comedian. He had some funny parts but seemed to rely on potty humor a lot. Dropped a few $$ in the very smoky casino and went to bed by 10:00. A long successful day was in the books.

The Tampa terminal staff were all very friendly as were the park4cruise staff. Ship had a few Easter decorations which was nice. Read more
