Norwegian Sun

7 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip)

Sail date: February 11, 2007

Ship: Norwegian Sun

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Clean/ variety of entertainment was good. Free style dining has taken away from the elegance of cruising. the number of people on the larger ships and very informal dress. Captains night not announced - not expected on the first night at sea. We missed the formal or semi-formal evenings.

Ports of call

Santo Tomas De Castilla, Guatemala

1 out of 5
We didn't see anything on the trolley tour. It seemed a shame to exploit these people with a trolley going through this depressed area. We didn't stop so couldn't even help their economy. Trolly was very bumpy and hard on your back. My husband was unable to get around the next day due to back pain
Thumbs Up
Don't Miss: I'm not aware of other activities that were offered

Due to the hot weather, we cancelled our tour to the ruins. Hired a taxi to take us around the city and enjoyed hearing of the local customs and special points of interest. Did not stay in town for lunch.

Don't Miss: Probably the water sports of which we did not participate

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Highlight of the cruise destinations. Very informative guide. We did not have a restaurant available at this side.

Cozumel, Mexico

Due to the windy conditions that day, all tours were cancelled. The town was very crowded with shoppers from three ships. Wind very strong and we returned to the ship. Seemed like a tourist shopping area
