Review summary

This was a repositioning cruise which for us was a great way to cruise. Norwegian Sun is a smaller ship & at no time did it ever feel crowded. As I recall, there were only about 4 kids on the cruise & they were all very well behaved. Thanks to their parents for that. The crew was courteous, helpful & always went out of their way to take care of any need we had. Our cabin steward was excellent. He took care of every need we had & kept our cabin in excellent shape. The dining staff were all great & were exceptionally sensitive to my wife's gluten-free needs throughout the entire cruise.

Looks like Victoria can be a beautiful place, but it was cold & overcast which put a damper on our visit. The tour guide was great & made up some what for the bad weather.

San Francisco, California

Weather was great & SF was beautiful. The tour guide for our excursion was terrible. We wasted so much time in Sausilito that we had to cut our tour of Alcatraz short to get back to the ship for departure.

Great experience! We transited the Canal on our anniversary which made it even more special.

Cartagena, Colombia

5 out of 5
Really enjoyed our tour of Old Town & other parts of Cartagena. But - WOW! - was it hot. Drink lots of water because you will lose it quickly thru perspiration. If you go sightseeing on your own, allow enough time to get back to the ship. Traffic is terrible between the ship & going into town. We were told that 3 passengers got left behind because they didn't get back to the ship on time.
