Review summary

This cruise was OK. Just seemed that ship was NOT as well as oiled machine as with past cruises.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Selection limited more than most, food placement not good for shorter folks. Main dining selection not as nice as others (repeats and no local dishes)

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Only one show which was excellent and 2 POOR comedy shows. Some decent live music

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

All were friendly but seemed a "half step off" as opposed to other cruise crews.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Ship too "chopped" up. Had to take certain elevators to get from point A to B for 12th floor & main dining. Ship was clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Plenty of room & storage.

Ship tip

Avoid Norwegian Sun.

question, you show no past Cruises and only one future cruise. 3 reviews today on the Sun. Wish you were more specific on what was wrong.

If possible, could you give a reason(s) why you disliked the ports as well? Did you do any excursions?
