Review summary

This was a great chance for relaxation, disconnect from the world and just hang out with my spouse while seeing some amazing sights. Very beautiful. All in All a great vacation and we really like the all included pricing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty Restaurants were the best, would want more of those next time. The Main Dining Rooms had a great selection and the buffet was good to fill in when needing something quick.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The evening entertainment was good, the Casino was closed a lot of the time we had downtime, the ship was smaller so no activities like that and the pools and hot tubs were cold, we were going to Alaska. Dont cruise to Alasksa and expect them to be warm or for it to be warm outside, it isnt.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Most of the stage shows were very entertaining, the games shows werent up and running the whole time, there were connection issues.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Very good, we were the first ones out for the season on the Norwegian Sun so everyone was fresh. By the end of the 9 days you could tell they werent in the best of spirits.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Great design, super clean and if you dont want large crowds this is the best ship. No waiting for elevators and always get a spot at dining and shows.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Best decision ever to get a balcony room. We loved this room and hung out there a lot.

Ship tip

Ask for a comfortable bed.

Arrived at 7pm and didnt get hardly any time to go visit or explore, would have liked more time at this stop.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were under the impression we could leave early but they had to wait for the Security group to get on the ship to give the ok, it was a massive cluster of people trying to get off the ship.
