Norwegian Sun Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We couldn't have asked for a better cruise. It was nice having longer times in ports! The weather was unbelievable for the time of year we visited. The crew were all attentive and pleasant. The cabin was great. The food was presented well and plentiful. Our cabin was cold for most of the trip as there was a problem with the heating/ air conditioning system. They eventually got it fixed. Love the smaller ships. Found the entertainment to be less than on past NCL cruises we've taken. Embarkation and disembarkation were flawless. All in all, loved our cruise. We are already looking forward to another cruise with NCL. Possibly the same cruise next year with a back to back to the Panama Canal.

Overall this was a quiet and relaxing time. If you're looking for top notch entertainment and activities I would recommend a larger ship. Alaska was beautiful and well worth the experience.

Great cruise to see much of Alaska----would also suggest a land/rental car drive in interior Alaska to get a full Alaska experience.

Last cruise of the season but it felt like it was a training cruise for the crew, many gave poor directions to get around the ship early on. Been on several cruise lines and several Norwegian ships - the Sun is the worst I've been on

Amazing- pictures do not capture the wonder of it all.

We were very fortunate as the weather was BEAUTIFUL every single day in every port! A wonderful and memorable experience!

I can't wait to go next year! Yes, you take a chance with the end of season stormy weather but the prices are terrific, less crowds make it relaxing and the service was fabulous!

The challenges of cruising to Alaska are real and we expected them. Overall the cruise was good. What wasn't good was a number of unexpected charges that I'm still not sure what they were for. I have come to realize that you double the price you think you're paying for a cruise, but these additional add ons beyond that were an unpleasant surprise.

We had good weather which made the excursions great. Norwegian had a lot of activities on Sea days and kept us busy. The food was wonderful and there was never a wait at restaurants or bars. As indicated above, the Sun is a significantly smaller ship than others. We did this same cruise in 2021 on a bigger Norwegian ship and hit a cyclone coming back and never felt the waves. This ship moved a lot more even without a storm. The buffet was great but didn't mix up the food choices during the cruise. We couldn't get a "regular" spot and wait staff at the complementary restaurants and ended up being moved around. This is OK, but I do like other cruise lines that make dining more personal. Don't worry about dressing up. My wife always dresses up for dinner, but very few people did. My wife has a walker and we found it was harder to get around on this boat as the elevators were small and walkways narrow in the buffet and other places. I think this is just a problem with the fact that the boat is smaller than others.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Rated Icy Strait Point (Hoonah) so low, because place is so small there is hardly anything to do there, but walk to Hoonah and back. Be prepared for rain and cold, especially in Sept or October.

Room service was the best I've seen! The man who cleaned our room was of great character and did a fantastic Job! loved him!

The ship was pretty good but not all of the excursion were worth it. Go when it’s not raining! Read reviews about the excursions. Spend the money for the good ones.

Beautiful, relaxing cruise marred only by terrible Internet. The ship is older but in good condition and manned by an outstanding staff. Lots of fun excursions and shopping in ports.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the ship and crew. Was my third time cruising with Norwegian and it's always a great experience. Every staff member is so friendly and efficient. Food and drinks are delicious.

Great time but need to add more standard restaurants - Chinese with no charge and Pub type with fish and chips. Buffet food was flavorless.

Alaska is not to be missed. I highly recommend finding some way to get there. However, I will not travel on such an old NCL ship again. The smells, the tight room, the inadequate bathroom, the lack of entertainment options, the sad buffet - not again. Thanks.

The cruise was decent and always nice having drink package. The food quality has declined especially in the main dining room. Sports bar is great for late night food, but pizza is only available early afternoon. The weather wasn't very good which dampend the port visits. The entertainment was okay but nothing special. Do not stay on Deck 4 as it isn't laid out very well. Probably our least favorite of the 4 Norweigen cruises we have been on.

Overall great. Bathroom cleanliness and odor effected the ladt few days.

The staff was awesome. everyone was very friendly and made me feel appreciated. The loud speaker announcements were useless. Could not understand anything they were saying. Could be because english was their second language.

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.
