Garden cafe areas very crowded. Quality of food is poor in specialty restaurants

Itinerary was excellent. Lisbon to Miami 19 days. Excellent ports of call full of history and geography and culture. All of the staff on board SUN is wonderful. Assistant Cruise Director Carlisa is very friendly and welcoming. During the renovations NCL added extra specialty restaurants which are not up to NCL standard. Moderno restaurant has very poor table service. Salad selection is ...

Generally good itinerary, with particular highlights being Madeira, Lanzarote, Malaga and Cadiz. Could do with longer at Cadiz, and prepare yourself for choppy weather on the 1st sea day. However, what brings the score down is the ship itself. The Sun is one of the smaller vessels, and often you have to navigate through other public area to get to your destination, the spa is particularly ...

Sailed on the ncl sun from lisbon to the canary islands and while the cruise was ok it was far from great. time after time we saw little things that showed a lack of attention to detail. there were many examples. the cabin stewards filled the halls with cleaning equipment early each morning and it stayed there unused until late in the day. there were no washcloths. there was no towel animal! ...

My partner and I chose this cruise to escape UK weather and in that respect it was a success. The weather was pleasant and warm for the 10 day cruise. I suspect if the weather had not been so pleasant my view of the cruise itself would be less forgiving. Positives: We were on the ship within 10 minutes of arriving at the terminal in Lisbon and our luggage was delivered within 1 hour. ...

A ship with "No Beer" or Wine

A rather disappointing cruise. The entertainment was poor, only 2 musical/dancing shows in the theatre, some good music in the bars, but they had limited seating. The food was good - but how can a NCL cruise ship run out of wine & beer ? We had the drink package and after the first few days our preferred white & red wines were unavailable, most of the bottled beer was 'off' too. We are not big ...

This was our second cruise on Norwegian Sun and third with NCL. Like every business in the world they are trying to recover from covid losses but cuts have gone too far! Our cruise diary rates previous NCL entertainment as fabulous; it isn't now. Having the same (albeit fantastically good) violinist for 6 nights out of 10 as the main theatre act lacked imagination. The other 2 major shows lacked ...

The itinerary was great, the embarkation was fast and stress-free, cabins were clean and specious, food and food service was better than before, but the entertainment, especially the number of activities, was not up to the standard of previous NCL cruises. There were days without any shows in the Sturdust theater. While Mate is great and had wonderful performances both solo and with his ...

We booked this cruise to the Canaries/Spain/Gibraltar and Madeira relatively last minute and paid the extra to get a Penthouse Suite at the front of the ship which came with additional perks. Upgrading was the best decision we made and I also paid extra for the Free at Sea Plus package.The ship appeared to be about 75% full so rarely felt overcrowded and you could quite easily get a seat in the ...
