This NCL Norwegian Sun review has a cruise ship tour of every deck in 4K, covering every specialty dining restaurants, Free at Sea, the balcony stateroom, buffet, pools, fitness center, spa and more. My Norwegian Sun ship tour is a 4K POV walk through every facility on board, starting at check-in and boarding. Each space gets my pros and cons, providing a full Norwegian Sun cruise ship review so you can see if it is any good and worth it. As I do my walkthrough of the Norwegian Sun deck plan, feel free to use the chapters to jump ahead. Note, I filmed this review on a Baltic cruise through Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany and Denmark. Norwegian Cruise Line has operated Sun since 2001. She has a gross tonnage of 78,309, capacity for 1,878 guests at double occupancy and a crew of 906. The NCL Norwegian Sun itinerary includes Northern Europe, Mediterranean and Caribbean routes out of Miami. Every NCL specialty restaurants each get a review: Le Bistro, Los Lobos Cantina, Sushi Bar, Cagney's Steakhouse, Teppanyaki, Moderno Churrascaria and La Cucina. I show how specialty dining reservations work and the menu, including cover charge and à la carte pricing. Complimentary Norwegian Sun dining covers Seven Seas and Four Seasons, the two main restaurants. The Norwegian Sun buffet spans Garden Café and The Great Outdoors, with my review and tour of breakfast, lunch and dinner, pizza and the ice cream bar. For coffee, I stop at Atrium Café and Bar, and Starbucks. My breakdown of NCL Free at Sea explains what the package gives you. Inclusions are an open bar, specialty dining meals, 150 minutes of Wi-Fi and a US$50 shore excursion credit per port for one guest. The NCL specialty dining Free at Sea allowance is three meals on a seven-day cruise, more on longer sailings. I deliver an NCL drink package review across beer, wine, cocktails and specialty coffee. NCL Free at Sea vs Free at Sea Plus comes down to extras: Plus adds Starbucks, top-shelf spirits, unlimited streaming Wi-Fi and prepaid service charges. Norwegian cruise extra costs remain beyond the package, including additional dining nights and paid Wi-Fi beyond the included minutes. My Norwegian Sun balcony stateroom review is of an aft Deck 9 cabin, covering bathroom, shower, bed, storage, power outlets, USB and TV. Engine noise and vibration at the stern make it one of the Norwegian Sun cabins to avoid, and I explain why. I also show a Norwegian Sun inside cabin and an accessible room. The rest of this Norwegian Cruise Line ship tour takes in the pools and hot tubs, with a read on crowds and capacity. Basketball, soccer and padel share the sports court, and the tour also covers Champs Bar, a Mandara Spa review, Pulse Fitness Center and Stardust Theater entertainment. Spinnaker Lounge, Bliss Lounge, Windjammer Bar and Havana Club cover the nightlife, while the Splash Academy and Entourage kids club are also covered for families. I also cover the NCL app and Freestyle Daily. My verdict pulls all the various Norwegian Sun reviews from across the ship together, be you a family with kids or not.
