Review summary

We had a blast! The ship was smaller and not as crowded as previous cruises, but this allowed us to really get to know some great people and interact with the staff more. Personally, I would not book any excursions in Cuba unless you hire an outside party to show you around. I believe we would have had an even better experience if we just went out on our own in Cuba. That being said, I do speak Spanish fairly well.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was not as good as previous NCL cruises, would rate it a 2. Free alcoholic beverages brings this up to a 4.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Smaller ship and short cruise. The Sun just can't compete with the onboard activities offered on larger ships.

Smaller ship. Will not have as many onboard options as the larger ships, but we still had a great time!

Beautiful county with outstanding people. Issues due to trade embargo and inability to create the revenue it takes to sustain that type of government.
