Review summary

This was our 50th wedding anniversary cruise and the rating does not show how much we enjoyed our cruise. The penguins were a fantastic addition. The crew remembered our anniversary and sent a cake. We will cruise with NCL again

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Slow- difficult to stand in one place for so long for someone with mobility issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Specialty restaurants were good but main dining room meals were pretty boring with little change in the menu. Staff was accommodating with gluten free

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

Cruise director was fantastic. Appreciated that there was classical music for the first time

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Steward was just so, so... but dining room staff was great

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

I will never travel on the Sun again. The layout was terrible. The atrium was small. Dining rooms (specialty) were hidden away and difficult to find. The ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Door needed new weather stripping. The wind howled through it. Somebody had tried to put masking tape on it... very tacky solution. Bathroom was tiny for a 6’4” man. Loved all the storage.
