Destination: South Pacific
The itinerary was superb. While accommodations and location were ideal some of the ships amenities and entertainment were not. The buffet was small and congested, the pizza activity was only open 11 to 2:30, breakfast in the restaurant closed at 9 AM, the sports bar didn't open for food until 9:30 PM and the comedian was not funny. The drink package had some excellent choices and the speciality restaurants were very good.

NCL Sun was average Destination we’re more exotic than what we normally cruise to and also more primitive as we went to Lofu New Caledonia, Vanuatu, and Fiji.

Service and staff were very good. Food was very good. The drink package was well priced and good. Excursions were way too expensive. There was no satellite for several days so were limited to the ships movies. It was Awful, limited and repetitive. Casablanca (1940's) and Fly Me To The Moon were the only movies besides children's/Marvel movies offered. Some of the ship activities were uninteresting. We experienced a couple shows and decided not to see any more. Overall we ended the cruise jokingly saying we've been cured of cruising. Most like will not cruise again unless we win the lottery

Destination: Alaska
We lucked out with good weather most all days however the stop in Ketchikan had to be cancelled due to unsafe docking conditions amid bad weather. That turned out fine as we had more time in Victoria. The staff are very gracious and efficient. Great experience.
