During 9 night 10 days cruise (7/23/24 to 8/2/24 - room # 262), everything was good (clean room, kindly staffs and atmosphere) EXCEPT 1 big problem. Toilet didn’t work 2 TIMES for several hours each time. Next cruise, we are planning to book newer ship. Anyway we enjoyed Alaska cruise. Thank you.

Norwegian Sun

June

Pros: Ports and excursions were excellent as was the casino

Cons: Foul odor in my hallway and by the Bliss lounge

Recommended: Yes

Service and food in the restaurants were good but on several occasions the wait for coffee was too long. The food in the buffet was good but the wait for the pasta station was way too long. The bartenders in the lounges were very good especially in the Atrium lounge. Our stateroom attendant was excellent. Friends of ours had the beverage package and had a problem with ordering an Irish Coffee. One bar was charging an upgrade for using Starbucks coffee but it was supposed to be included in the package.

NCL Sun Alaska Cruise

August

Pros: Easy to get around the ship. High quality entertainment in the theater as well as the smaller venues.

Cons: The Garden buffet is not large enough. Extra seating is available in adjoining areas a short walk away. Also the intercom announcements are only in the common areas not staterooms.

Recommended: Yes

We like the ships size. The decor is very nice. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful! The communication paper we received every evening was very helpful for attending entertainment venues as well as planning for the next day’s stop. I would like to see at least 8 hours for all ports of call. We had 2 stops that were about 4 hours on shore due to our schedule and distance to travel. Understandable but maybe a rearrangement would eliminate one stop in favor of more time at the other.

4 day cruise

August

Pros: nice staff and friendly

Cons: hot ship

Recommended: No

Air conditioner did not work very well. Half of the ship was hot and the other was warm. I was very uncomfortable due this problem. The food was the same type of food each day. I tried other meals but not impressed with the food.
