Review summary

Older ship which has been refurbished. Food was the main disappointment. It was only mediocre at best. Fish overcooked. Beef & chicken dry and flavorless. Specialty restaurants barely acceptable. Do not recommend NCL Sun for Alaskan cruise. Excursions were great. We used and Viator for excursions. Do not recommend NCL excursion bus tour for Victoria, B.C.

Waiters were great. Room steward cleaned room adequately, but never left us any information -- mainly special pricing day for laundry.

Just came off a 9-night cruise on the Sun & I agree totally about the food. So it has to something wrong in the kitchen or the food they are getting.

Thanks for your review. Just read another review for same trip and ship and the food was overall good. Interesting about different people's likes and dislikes.
