Norwegian Sun: NCL's first purpose-built Freestyle cruise liner shines in the bright Caribbean - New Ship Review

Cruise Travel, Nov-Dec, 2002 by Georgina Cruz

If you bring the children, they'll have a bail. Their large playroom, Kids Korner, is located on International Deck, forward, and offers activities supervised by trained youth counselors. A year-round Kid's Crew Program is offered for four age groups: 2-5, 6-9, 10-12, and teens. Teenagers have their own club on International Deck, with activities during the day and disco in the evenings. There is a shallow pool for little kids with a fountain and slide. Children's menus and babysitting are available. One family-friendly feature we wished the ship had was a self-service launderette. But laundry/dry-cleaning service is available.

The Norwegian Sun features seven-day roundtrip Western Caribbean cruises, departing every Saturday from Miami, to Grand Cayman, Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel, at per person/double occupancy fares from $1,579 to $4,429. In May of 2003, Alaska will be saying, "Here comes the Sun!" as the ship will be repositioned for her first season there.
