Description

One of the first ships in the fleet to offer Freestyle Cruising, Norwegian Sun is still a highly regarded and cutting-edge ship. The restaurant is definitely one of its on-board flagships with culinary options ranging from Italian to Japanese, French to steak. Brightly decorated, it is suited to warm routes and younger passengers, who will not be bored despite its size, which is not as large as others recently proposed by the same fleet Norwegian Cruise Line.

Sorry, I'am hunderstand

I liked

Cocina, carta, calidad y cuidado de las instalaciones y mobiliario

I didn't like

Espectaculos, animacion. Atención en otras lenguas.

Comment

A pesar de ser un crucero por aguas españolas (islas Canarias) a pesar de que más de la mitad de los pasajeros eramos españoles, no se dignaban dar ni un aviso en Español. Sólo Inglés. Los espectáculos escasos y malos, y que la jefa de animación no dijera en el teatro ni siquiera buenas noches en español, la verdad indignaba mucho. En otras compañías con las que he viajado, siempre se traducia aunque fuera un poquito a otros idiomas.

Ports of call: Las escalas y los puertos muy buenos. Realmente de eligieron por esos puertos, adecuados para un mes de diciembre en el q en Europa es difícil otro crucero por la climatología. Tiempo en las diferentes ciudades suficiente.

We spent relaxing days on this beautiful cruise aboard the Sun. Quality of food, courtesy of the staff, bright and always well-tended cabin. The entertainment for children was really excellent. Ship that I recommend.

In Alaska, esperienza media

I liked

Itinerario

I didn't like

Nave piccola e non in forma

Comment

Esperienza bellissima per l'itinerario, meno entusiasmante per la nave. La formula NCL mi piace molto ma ho trovato scarsa manutenzione, poca varietà nei buffet, e servizio non impeccabile nei ristoranti. Nel complesso non siamo stati male ma mi sarei aspettato qualcosa in più.

Alaska da Vancouver, nave piacevole

I liked

Servizio e pulizia

I didn't like

Conoscendo le nuove navi, ristorazione più limitata

Comment

Nave medio piccola, ma comunque offre ottimi servizi e cura del cliente. Le cabine sono abbastanza spaziose e sempre pulite. Non ci sono molti ristoranti come nelle navi più recenti ma il servizio è ottimo e si mangia bene. Bello l'itinerario, peccato una settimana sia breve.
