Review summary

Much needed R&R. Weather always plays a big factor in cruising and we were blessed with great days!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy, not crowded at all! Perhaps because we arrived around 10:30 am.

Couldn't have asked for a better selection, though hot oatmeal for breakfast and salmon with cream cheese were noticably absent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the spa, hot tub, bingo, karaoke and even a jeopardy-style game

Ship tip

Was disappointed there were no Adults Only areas. The only time we got to use the hot tub was when we went into the kids hot tub after 9 pm

Would have liked to stay longer. Our itinerary only had us there till about 2:30. Why not till 6 or 7 pm. Couldn't see all we wanted due to a 3 hour excursion.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

High waves prevented tendering in. This wass the second time this happened on a Norwegian cruise. Disappointed, but appreciate the extra caution.

Glad you had a good time. The Sun was our first ship so will always be special to us. Too bad NCL won’t build a dock at GSC. We have missed it twice too.
