Overall it was a very enjoyable cruise. The amenities on the NCL Sun were not overly impressive- there's no miniature golf, rock climbing, bowling alley, water slides, etc. But there was a nice full size basketball court (not 2 half courts facing a wall), a great variety of dining options/restaurants, and comfortable accommodations., The experience as a whole was excellent. The crew, composed of mostly Filipinos, were very friendly and warm. Roots Link provided terrific live music, and our cruise director Linda Minnikin & the assistant cruise director Rich did good jobs. The entertainment was very good- although a bit more variety would have made it even better. Also the concept of Freestyle Cruising is great- we were able to sit at tables for two every time we ate.
Also we were very happy that we weren't bothered by loud noises when the cruise ship docked. Unlike the Carnival Paradise we were on, we did not hear any loud rattling metallic chain noises during docking. Perhaps it had to do with our cabin position, but we were really happy to not be rudely awaken on the Norwegian Sun.
I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who hasn't taken it!
Highlights:
The Mayan ruins excursion at Alta Hun in Belize
Great entertainment put on by the Jean Ann Ryan Company, Dave Keenan, Jean Pierre Parent, Jennifer Fair, & Crew
Delicious meals overall, especially at the French specialty restaurant Le Bistro
Lowlights:
Having to breath noxious tender boat exhaust while waiting to get back on the ship
The sushi at Ginza Sushi Bar not worth the extra cover charge
Overall Rating:
