Review summary

The sun was wonderful, but the crew was disengaged and food/drink quality was lacking. We had high expectations, but overall, it was nice and not much more. Time to try another cruise line!

I was on the NCL Gem and had a great time with great food, but I suppose it's all perspective.

You were not on the Sun Princess if your cruise went to Bermuda..Maine and Boston..the Sun Princess right now is doing mediterrean cruises....The Sun Princess is a brand new Ship..doubt very much there plumbing is outdated
