I Took a Cruise on a Ship Designed in The 1990s | NCL Sun

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explores the experience of cruising on the Norwegian Sun, an older vessel designed in the 1990s, to determine if the lower cost justifies the lack of modern amenities. Traveling on a ship with a capacity of under 2,000 passengers, the creator notes several advantages of smaller, older ships, including more outdoor promenade space and a less crowded atmosphere. The review covers various aspects of the voyage, such as the dining experience, where the creator found large portions and freestyle dining options, though vegetarian selections were limited. Entertainment included live music and lounge acts rather than large Broadway productions. The itinerary included stops in Madeira, the Canary Islands, and Jersey, providing opportunities for both sightseeing and relaxing by the pool. Despite experiencing some rough seas and a lack of specialty shows, the creator concludes that the cruise offered high value. The experience was cost effective, with the creator noting that the ship was only about 75 percent full. Ultimately, the creator expresses satisfaction with the trip and intends to continue cruising on older ships.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I usually cruise on new big cruise ships but when I saw a good price for an older cruise ship cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line I knew that I had to give it a go
I hope that this Cruise would be a walk down memory lane for me
I hope that it wouldn't be that this ship was more Rocky because I do get seasick and we did get some bad weather on the Cruise
The food quality was really good there weren't many vegetarian options but I've grown to expect that from cruising with a lot of the big us Cruise Lines
