Review summary

My wife and I were very happy with this cruise; we recommend it to anyone going on their first Alaskan cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Took only about 40 minutes to get to the boarding hall. Another 30-40 minutes to get on the ship. Very organized and things moved smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Overall the Food was good but sometimes not as warm as I like it. The Food service was very very good

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5

On this 9 day cruise there were 3 “Production Shows” that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. The 6 singers and 8 dancers were amazing and talented young people. This was our 6th cruise and to me these were the best shows we have ever seen on a cruise ship. There was also a solo artist which performed with the ships band that did a Frank Sinatra tribute show. This show was also very well done and very entertaining. The artist here not only sang the songs superbly but gave the history and other background information about each song before performing. There were other shows of course but I did not go to them

Service and Staff

The service staff and all crew members were excellent. They went the extra mile to make our stay on the Norwegian Sun pleasant and memorable

Sitka, Alaska

4 out of 5

Took the “Best of Sitka” excursion. Enjoyed the Raptor Refuge. The Bear enclosure and the Totems were just ok for me. I wasn’t impressed with the enclosure that the bears were in 😐. My wife enjoyed the Totems park.
