The Sun is Better Than Ever!

Review for a South America Cruise on Norwegian Sun

I've been on the Sun now 4 times. I must say I believe that this is my favorite ship in the NCL fleet. I must say that the recent refurbishment has been a real plus. The color schemes are really great. This ship has plenty to do, but it's not like the mega ships. Being the smallest in the fleet it can't offer all the choices. I find it a ship where you can chill out and relax. The ...

We chose this cruise because of its interesting itinerary of South America and the opportunity to go through the Panama Canal transit. From the smooth embarkment at Miami, to the culturally interesting ports of Columbia, Equador, Peru, and Chile, relaxing days at sea and finally our disembarkment at Santiago, Chile, we thoroughly enjoyed our voyage. The transit through the Panama Canal was one ...

The most important for us was the itinerary. This was our first time sailing to South America. We enjoyed all the new ports on the way. The 3 tours which we took with NCL were very interesting and informative. This was also the first time we cruised with NCL and the experience was very good. I liked the ship and the many activities. There was a lot to choose from and everyone could ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We were looking for an alternative to flying to our destination and decided to try a cruise. It just so happened our travel agent found this cruise which met our travel dates. We convinced our brother-in-law & his wife the join us, too! We were pretty excited and really had no expectations. From arriving in Miami, the Pullman Hotel we felt very well taken care of. Once aboard the ship we were ...

Cigarette smoke everywhere, and rudeness

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, ...

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. Cruise Director ...

We had a good time. It seemed like a good itinerary but most of the ports had very little to do. The food was adequate. Dining room service was slow. They seemed understaffed. Wish they had a happy hour and afternoon tea. Some positive things: coffee maker in the room, fishes on the carpet to tell forward and aft, great entertainment, friendly staff and had only 75 percent occupancy. Just ...

First experience with Norwegian

Review for a Cuba Cruise on Norwegian Sun

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this trip because it included the Panama Canal, which was a very interesting experience. First time on a Norwegian cruise ship (total of 6 cruises). The service level in the buffet restaurants was poor, staff was courteous but very slow in cleaning the tables. Overall the food was good. The cabin staff were not exactly rude but not very friendly either. Our cabin was below the smoking ...

We wanted to see the island of Cuba for many years and finally got to. It did not disappoint. NCL helped with the Visa and provided a lot of information about the island before you disembark. The ship is one of the smaller ships in the NCL lineup but it was renovated in 2018 and very well organized. Very few times did we ever stand in line at the buffet and when we did there were just a ...

We chose the 10/30/18 sailing of the Sun for the ports and were not disappointed except for the fact that NCL cancelled the Hemingway tour in Havana. What? Who goes to Havana without seeing the Hemingway home and hangouts? A cruising veteran, I found the ship, amenities, entertainment and the FOOD mediocre at best. The ship is tired and showing its age even though it was recently refurbished. ...
