Review summary

We enjoyed the ship. Everything was clean and inviting. The only times it seemed crowded were on the sea days on the pool deck.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Mostly the food was excellent. Some of the buffet items were a bit bland and felt repetitious\, but there were always options we enjoyed. Food in the restaurants was great. We dined at two of the specialty restaurants and found them excellent (though the cover charges made them a bit pricey ($40-50 for two).

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Evening shows were of the highest quality! We really enjoyed all of them. Lots of options for listening to all kinds of music in the evenings. No pressure to buy drinks in the bars...it was okay to just sit and listen\, dance\, etc. Would have enjoyed a pool area away from the constant music and games going on on the pool deck.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff went above and beyond to meet our every need!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Bathroom (especially shower) was a bit small\, but I think that is just how it is on a cruise ship. Hair dryer was awful!! Bring your own\, but you can't plug it in in the bathroom\, would have to use at the desk area which is fine since there is also a mirror there. There was only one electrical outlet available (unless you unplug the TV) which made it hard to keep our e-readers\, cameras\, and phones charged.

Pros: Wonderful staff\, many varied activities available\, great excursions\, and loved the islands we stopped at.

Cons: Things that were not included in the cruise price (drinks\, some activities and games) were VERY expensive. They make it so easy to spend without noticing what your bill is getting up to by having you just charge everything to your room card...be careful! That adds up SO quickly\, it will shock you.

Recommends Norwegian Sun? Yes!
