Norwegian Sun Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I, like many of the people we met and talked to, have no plans on cruising on the Sun in the future. Left a very bad taste in our mouths.

We affectionately called this the geriatric cruise. We saw more wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, canes, etc. than we have ever seen on a ship. That said, all the staff were lovely, and we had a great time. We're both around 60 and felt half our age because of our mobility compared to many. My husband felt like a good Samaritan on more than one occasion helping someone into their room or an elevator. I think the clientele was because of the timing... before kids had their winter break.

Ship was overall very clean. Fitness center was fine but a bit small (gym should have been expanded into the overly large adjacent aerobic studio). Entertainment was high school quality and not professional quality I expected. Food was OK, but most meat dishes were very tough, including strip steak and filet mignon.

Would like to travel at different time of year so the to and from port is not so rough.

Worst cruise. Will never cruise with Norwegian again, will not use BJ again, will not leave from Baltimore again. Don’t do Bermuda after August.

Overall a great cruise to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary

Repositioning cruise great to fulfill bucket list to say you have been there, but there were no passport stamps to prove it. NCL return flights not designed for comfort with red eye timelines. Return flights were 9 hours after airport arrival. Turned out to be a been there cruise; rather than, one creating excitement to do again. Friendships with fellow Christian’s established was a blessing.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
