Good Points

The balcony room was a really nice room, but the bathroom and shower were very small.


Bad Points

The buffet food was the worst food we have ever eaten. The thanksgiving dinner consisted of a turkey loaf, and mashed potatoes with sweet brown gravy. Or you could have catfish!! There is a $20.00 or more cover charge on the other restaurants. The shore excursions were so costly (approx $100.00 per person on average). The entertainment was repeated through the cruise. This is our second cruise with NCL, and it will be the LAST.


General Comments

The staff on-board the Norwegian Sun NCL Caribbean cruise were very unknowledgable about anything on the cruise, and they kept telling us to ask somebody else. They add a gratuity to everything you buy, and then add another $10.00 per person per day on your bill. You have to buy a soft drink package if you want soft drinks, and it is around $45.00 per person. The drinks on-board were outrageous in price. Basically, the staff were unhelpful, and several people had stated the same thing, so it was not just us. The company pushes Diamonds International, which is in all ports, and they are a hugely expensive, but that is all you will hear. This is the worst cruise we have ever been on, and we have cruised a lot.

    The dining comment doesn't make sense. The main dining areas are always free. This reviewer only mentions the buffet as free and all other choices having a surcharge. I was on a different NCL ship on a Mexican cruise and looked here for a review because we enjoyed NCL last time and I am looking for recommendations for the next cruise. I understand that the tipping is included on almost all cruises now. You can adjust the tip for any service up or down with the purser. This reviewer sounds like she did not do her research before she booked and was surprised at the extra costs.
