Review summary

It is easy to find your way around the Norwegian Sun. Having sailed on the Spirit earlier this year, I would rate the Sun behind the Spirit, but the Sun is certainly a stable, clean and enjoyable vessel. We rarely eat in the buffet restaurants and found the main dining room food to be tasty and well presented, worthy of 4 out of 5 stars. Portions were perfect. No where else could I enjoy 21 consecutive meals of this caliber and only gain two pounds. The menu selections were adequate and there were many good wine selections in all price ranges. Entertainment was very good, but I missed the atrium performances offered on other ships. Adding a pianist, a string quartet or a small singing band would make the atrium area a great place to hang out.

The waterfall trip was disappointing. The scenery on the trip to the waterfall was great, but the waterfall area itself was congested and we stayed 2 full hours. If you really plan on swimming at the waterfall, you might like it. If not, you're going to waste your day. Guatemala is beautiful. Try something else to enjoy it.
