Just Travelled to Alaksa on the Norwegian Sun.
02 Jun 2023.
The intinery was fabulous. Could not be faulted. Alaska is definitely a must see destination.
Loved Alaska.
However I gave the cruise a lower rating not because of the itinerary but for attitude and Handling by NCL of issues we had.
Firstly NCL’s customer service is both disappointing and dismissive, if you have an ...
We just returned from a 10 day Alaska Cruise. Had a great experience. Five years ago we sailed on the Sun for 18 days on a Panama Canal Crossing. It was the first trip after the major renovation in 2018. The Sun looks almost as good as when we last sailed her. The crew meticulously cleaned day and night. She did not look her age at all.
The food was tasty and plentiful. We are early ...
I chose the cruise for the price, ports of call and schedule.
FOOD
Buffett - Good selection, cheaper items closer and featured more towards the front. 7.5 out of 10
No sweet and low after first two days, yet it was available in other places aboard ship???
Specialty - Italian - Two great meals, filet with blue cheese and lasagna. Red snapper was horrible - dry, tasteless and not ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, we had never been to Sitka before and this was a port of call. The ship seemed to be in cost cutting mode, you had to ask for butter and jam at breakfast in the dining room. The service was slower than experienced on other NCL ships, this was our 9th cruise on NCL. There was also limited seating for Handicapped in the Garden Cafe and during busy times ...
This is our second cruise to Alaska. This cruise was selected because we did not want to disembark in Seward and take a train ride to the Seward and wait. My wife enjoyed the cruise, I didn't.
The embarkation was somewhat more confused and uncoordinated that usual. After boarding, eating and waiting for the staterooms to be prepared, we (the majority of the ship) find the key cards stopped ...
We chose this cruise due to the deal they offered, never thinking it was so poor. The video advertising is miss leading to say the least.
First, the food was less than mediocre. it was clearly an effort to cut corners.
The cruise population was overwhelmingly made up of elderly with walkers, scooters, canes and the feeble. with activities directed to the elderly such as bingo.
The ...
We boarded the Norwegian Sun in Seattle and sailed up the west coast of Canada and USA to Alaska. The scenery was amazing and we stopped at several interesting towns with small communities on route as well as the impressive glaziers flowing into the sea. We travelled on the White Pass and Yukon Railway which followed the route from the coast up towards the Klondike taken by the prospectors during ...
This was our very first cruise and may be our last. We do NOT care for crowds at all and this entire experience was nothing but one crowded mess. How anyone finds standing in endless lines, being herded like cattle, and cramped up like sardines fun and enjoyable is beyond me. We went on a cruise as it was the only practical way for us to tour the Inside Passage of Alaska. We do not fly on ...
We chose this cruise because of the many ports visited which larger ships cannot provide. The NCL Sun was nicely refurbished a couple of years ago and it shows. Nevertheless, it is an older ship without the latest technology onboard. Internet is rather slow, and they still take food orders manually. Cabins are not spacious as the newer ships. Public areas smaller than new ships.
Being a ...
I wanted a cruise that went to Glacier Bay and multiple ports. This was an eleven night cruise which gave us plenty of time to explore the ports and relax on the ship. The crew were friendly and I liked the entertainment staff. This is an older ship that does not have many bells and whistles and it seemed to attract an older crowd. It is a small ship and that made it easy to get off and on at ...
