Reviewer read
One of the lowest-rated ships we track. It falls behind on ship quality.
Norwegian Sun rates higher overall than 19% of the ships we track. The weak spot is ship quality.
Why reviewers choose it
No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.
The one caution
7.9out of 10 for ship quality
Higher than only 10% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.75.
Everything else, in one line
Eleven fall below the fleet: disembarkation, value, service, public areas, fitness, cabins, embarkation, dining, entertainment, activities and ship quality. They rate higher than 10% to 31% of ships.
Family falls below the fleet too, but only 44 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 7.52 and 7.89. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you

- Too few reviewers here described sailing with young kids.
- Whether it's good value today
