My NCL Sun Review 3-19-11 - 3-26-11First off let me say This was our 2nd cruise both with NCL.. We are a young couple (26&23) And we try to have fun and just enjoy the moment. I'll Break this up into 3 part The good, The bad, The Ugly,The Good:When we arrived at the port we found it 100x better organized and easier than the The Port of Miami. The Porters where not demanding tips (but we did tip) and the security check in was so much easier. We Made it up the stairs Got in the huge line to check in. Than it hit me I'm a Latitudes member so we got out of line and in a very short line of 2! Less than 10 minutes later we were on the ship ready for lunch! We found the ship staff extremely friendly! We ate lunch heard the announcement our rooms was ready so off we go to find our inside room (8125)Wow this room was so much larger than our previous cabin on "The Sky"..The show Saturday night was "Welcome aboard show" There was one Amazing singer that stood out She was normally in Dazzles You don't wanna Miss her!Sunday was a Sea day.. We just layed by the pool And attended the Crusie critic Meet and greet.. If you try one thing New Moderno Churrascaria Prolly one of the best resutrants Ive ever ate at on a Cruise ship or not! The price is great $20 sure beats the $32.50 I pay at home! Monday- Cozumel Took a taxi over to paradise beach. $2 to rent a lounge chair and just a day to relax listening to my mp3 player while the GF Baked in the sun!Tuesday Santo Thomas, Guatemala This port was our favorite! If you have not been here you are missing a very Beautiful Port! Loved the mountains reminded us of home! We took the Discover rio dulce tour! It was amazing price was $49 well worth it! The little kids paddle up to the boat and sell little nick knacks I purchased a coconut purse for my GF trying to get her to downgrade from the suit case she carries around now.. She didn't like the ideal of downgrading Oh well my 2yr old Cousin will love it! As we was sailing away There was a team of dancers outside the ship dancing and waving goodbye! I would love to go to this port again! Showtime The Electrifying Elvy Rose She was good to me Reminded me allot of a Spanish version of Taylor Hicks From American Idol Was her singing great Not really but her dancing and everything she was very entertaining! Wednesday- Belize City Go early and get your tender tickets! We was on the 1st tender out we had booked a 3rd party cave tubing trip.. And they had asked up to be one of the 1st off the Boat. The Tender was a easy ride took around 5-10 minutes .. Cave Tubing was very fun I would suggest everyone to try it Once! The walk thru the rain forest was very nice I was impressed with our guide! Showtime Romano Frediani All I can say is wow ! If you have not heard or seen him he is a Juggler/comedian Amazing!! For everyone who got up and left after 10 minutes You missed a great great show I would love to see him again on another cruise or Vegas type show!After this show was The liar club Very very entertaining! I think I laughed so hard my stomach hurt!Thur was a well deserved Sea day.. Just another day to relax and REST! While we was getting ready for Dinner and my GF was all dressed up.. My GF became My FiancE! Yes I purposed And she was floored! During the sea day there was a Crew talent show Don't miss out on this show! Crew is very talented at other things than just there normal House keeping jobs!Thursday night was also the White Hot Party! Was Fun after 30 minutes we headed to the Sports Bar where I ate the Best Wings Of my life!.. I Eat wings allot at home And NCL sports Bar has the best I've ever had! Don't miss these!Friday Was Key West I would suggest getting in line early even tho you are one floor 8 and they call floor 10 and 11 The line is long but moves fast we was actually getting off the ship when the called Floor 8 :) Everyone has to go thru customs just the law.. Key west was beautiful just wish We had more time in Port! Also don't miss Key Lime Pie dipped in Chocolate! Was amazing!Dancing with the stars show! Wow a lot of laughs! Don't miss this show either!Dinner- Went back to Moderno! Had to have it one last time!Showtime 1st show was Elvy Rose and Romano Frediani They were both amazing again!! 2nd show was Rod Long! (over 18 show) Wow he was great his last day on the sun he was getting off Saturday and heading back home for awhile so sorry for the future Sun cruisers will miss out on his comedy!Late night was the Quest party! What can I say what some people will do for a key chain is Amazing! We just watched and laughed our butts off!!Food was always good Breakfast Was great! And Dinner was normally good in the MDRs One waiter Stood out In 4seasons I can only remember his last name "Lockwood" we had him 2x but he would always speak to us no matter where we seen him on the ship! Loved talking about his travels around the world on the different ships hes worked at! The best waiter we had!Time for the BADThis is a warning: IF PLAN ON CARRYING SODA OR WATER ON TO THE SHIP YOU WILL GET CALLED TO THE NAUGHTY ROOM! I placed some soda and water in one of my Bags I left with the Porters When it didn't arrive in my Room I went looking for it Found it in the security room with a lot other Bags! They Checked my bags for alcohol Found None and check the water for I guess Liquor than released the Bag to me! I got to keep my soda so I was a Happy Camper! They let you bring soda in Just not alcohol.. Sunday night show- The Mod the Musical The Singers and dancers were good Just not my type of show.. Was very BoredWednesday night- The Chocolate buffet was at the same time and The liars Club so we missed out on the chocolate buffet.. They should move the Liars club back to 11pm so we could enjoy both!The just Plain Ugly!Our Beds.. They were the new Bliss beds ive been reading about.. Wow one of the worst beds ive had! But I own a sleep number with a very very low sleep number! I Like Soft beds And The Bliss Beds are very Firm.. Didn't have a good nights sleep!Monday night- The ship was swaying allot My Gf Got sea sick so we missed the Opening show from Rod Long :(Karaoke The couple times we tried to watch we just couldn't.. There were a few good acts but mostly just plain awful!!! If you don't know the words and cant read don't try To sing during Karaoke Hour Just saying!We loved our Engagement Cruise! The Cruise Director Shona Blair was great and her Staff with Ast CD Johnny Cash Was amazing! Thanks Ncl for The great cruise ! Will be cruising in the future (sorda have to I purchased the cruise rewards and signed up for the ncl credit card!) Two Happy cruisersJonathan
