We choose because of the itenery. Ship was very clean & crew very friendly. The food was horrible ! Corn & ham on pizza only 1 example. Entertainment I have seen better at high school level. Pool Entertainment was funeral music. They asked us to buy a cruise pkg of $3k upfront lump sum to guarantee them 12 cruises. NO! there was a port cancelation & the refused refund of the port fee. They ...
1.Excursions were poor:
a. One poor English-speaking guide without a microphone for 40 people If your in the back of the bus you hear nothing.
b. Excursions were not as advertised. I paid over $260 to go to an island to get pictures of South American birds but we never got on the island we were to go to and I feel very cheated.
c. The setup for boarding excursions is poorly ...
My mother's friend chose the cruise. My husband and I came along to help my 89-yr-old mother. The cruise started in San Antonio, Chile and ended in Miami. We had two additional stops in Chile, two in Peru, one in Ecuador, one in Costa Rica and one in Columbia. There were shore excursions available in all the ports, but we prefer to walk around and go geocaching. Often there were locals selling ...
Back to Back from Miami to San Antonio and San Antonio to Buenos Aires.
Best cruise(s) we have ever taken.
Ship was excellent … clean, spotless, correct passenger size (about 2000 people), friendly crew, excellent food, calm, peaceful and simply the best.
Celebrated Christmas and New Years on ship and they had special dining AND special celebrations for both holidays.

Although the Norwegian Sun has been recently renovated, they have a serious problem with proper ventilation. Smoke from the casino and designated smoking areas infiltrated the public areas of the ship. Why do they put designated smoking areas near the pool and over the aft eating area? It makes no sense. We felt that we could not get away from the smell of smoke.
For whatever reason, ...
I originally chose the Norwegian Sun for the 10 night Panama Canal cruise because I really wanted to go to the Panama Canal and I had been to a lot of other ports in the Caribbean but none of these ones . Prior to this cruise I have been on it many other cruises in different cruise lines.this is my second time sailing with Norwegian, I’ve sailed with princess four times, carnival wants and, ...
I know this is an older ship, but I wasn't expecting to have to endure toxic fumes from adhesive as they were laying new carpeting on the main stairs. They also had to access our cabin balcony to paint it, which left the balcony inaccessible while scraping and painting the balcony. I never met our cabin steward and I never encountered anyone who I felt went out of their way to be friendly and/or ...
We selected this cruise because it went to both Cuba and Panama Canal. Overall we enjoyed the sailing and some of the ports, but the cruise line, the staff, the ship and meal service were all disappointing.
After booking, the flood of emails to upgrade, promote, and generally aggravate were endless. The constant gotcha extras which ran up the total cruise cost several thousand dollars a big ...
We chose this cruise because we have always wanted to go through the Panama Canal. Going through the Panama Canal was the highlight of the trip and the only part of the cruise that I would recommend anybody doing. The stop in Costa Rica was absolutely awful. Puntarenus, Costa Rica was our excursion for that day. Excursion was titled “scenic Costa Rica”. We saw nothing but trees, shack‘s and ...
The crew was excellent but the ship was in poor condition. Windows were all dirty and not washed once during 18 day cruise. Lighting throughout the ship was out in a lot of places. Food was sub par for Norwegian. Just an overall disappointment. Ship was dirty in many areas. Maintenance was chipping and painting in areas above our head during cruise. Walkers and joggers were just above our room ...
