We chose this ship because it was the only one available that late in the season that was going around the southern tip of South America. The cruise was chilly and rocky, of course, the further south we traveled, but we expected that and did well. We were unexpectedly very pleased with the Norwegian Sun. Our balcony cabin seemed to be larger than others in that category on previous ships, with even a couch that was wide enough to sit us both comfortably as we watched the scenery drift by. Lots of storage space, too. We did have a couple of mishaps, including water/sewage backing up into our shower, but we caught it quickly and it was repaired within an hour. The staff was very nice about it, providing us with a bottle of wine and some gourmet chocolates for the inconvenience. My wife happened to mention to the head of food preparation that she burned herself on one of the serving pans. She got a sincere apology, a couple of follow-up calls to check on her, and another bottle of wine!
In fact, everyone aboard the shop was friendly and attentive. This may have been because of the small size of the vessel, by today's measures, and that fact the we were with them for fourteen days. Unlike other cruises, this one seemed to tailor much of the entertainment to itinerary. We even had tango lessons!
Not willing to spend the extra fees for specialty dining we confined our meals to the main dining rooms and buffet. The food was fine, albeit not gourmet. No lobster tails, but nice steaks and lamb and seafood items. Service was excellent, and as early diners (no later than 7:30) we never had to wait for a table. We generally got a table for two, but occasionally joined another couple.
Nice size and very good storage.
