This was our 50th wedding anniversary cruise and the rating does not show how much we enjoyed our cruise. The penguins were a fantastic addition. The crew remembered our anniversary and sent a cake. We will cruise with NCL again

Embarkation

Slow- difficult to stand in one place for so long for someone with mobility issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Specialty restaurants were good but main dining room meals were pretty boring with little change in the menu. Staff was accommodating with gluten free

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
I will never travel on the Sun again. The layout was terrible. The atrium was small. Dining rooms (specialty) were hidden away and difficult to find. The ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Door needed new weather stripping. The wind howled through it. Somebody had tried to put masking tape on it... very tacky solution. Bathroom was tiny for a 6’4” man. Loved all the storage.
