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

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.
