Built in 2001, Norwegian Sun underwent a three-week bow-to-stern renovation in May 2018, which resulted in refreshed staterooms, restaurants and public spaces, and three new venues -- Los Lobos Cantina, Bliss Ultra Lounge and Spinnaker Lounge.
Part of the cruise line's Norwegian Edge program -- which was designed to elevate the standard of excellence across its fleet -- the revitalized Norwegian Sun boasts lots of bright, open spaces both inside and out; cosy, intimate nooks throughout the ship; and signature favourites that are popular with Norwegian Cruise Line passengers. Ocean lovers will appreciate the amount of sea blues and wave-like design elements around the ship, from the atrium, various lounges and restaurants to staterooms and the spa.
The bright multi-deck atrium, complete with a large circular skylight at the top, is the hub of the ship and features three decks of shopping, lounging and learning about your cruise. Four inward-facing glass elevators make for great views of the action below. A midsized ship with less than 2,000 passengers (double occupancy), Norwegian Sun is big enough to offer plenty of onboard amenities and space, yet small enough to not feel overwhelming. Service is spot on, with crew members around the ship who are highly visible, friendly and eager to help, whether it's to point you in the direction of the lounge, answer a question about a shore excursion or handle a special stateroom request.
Norwegian Cruise Line favourites remain, such as the ship's fun, relaxed atmosphere and action-packed days and nights, its can't-miss sunshine hull artwork and the clever way of reminding passengers which direction they're going in stateroom hallways: The fish on the carpet swim forward (except, of course, that one rebellious fish). Side note: Try the Rebellious Fish cocktail.
Daytime: Norwegian's casual dress code is about as relaxed as you can get. By day, pool wear and resort casual are acceptable around the ship.
Evening: At night, dress is "cruise casual," which means khakis, jeans, shorts, casual shirts and no tank tops for men and casual dresses, skirts, pants, capris, shorts, nice jeans and tops for women. In the evening, resort casual and shorts are allowed in all dining venues except Le Bistro and Seven Seas Restaurant. Tank tops, flip-flops or baseball caps are not allowed anywhere. One night per cruise features the chance to take photos with the captain, so many passengers choose to go all-out in their fancy clothes, especially if they scored an invite to the captain's cocktail party. Others still prefer to keep it casual and stick with shorts by the pool, which is perfectly fine as well. There is no formal policy onboard. Also, don't forget to pack you best whites for the White Hot Party, which is held every cruise.
Not permitted: As far as dining dress guidelines, during the day as well as in the Garden Cafe for breakfast, lunch or dinner, passengers must wear cover-ups, shirts and footwear. Some restaurants also require a collared shirt and slacks (shorts don't count). Tank tops and baseball caps are also never permitted.
Theatre
The two-deck 958-seat Stardust Lounge (Decks 6 and 7) welcomes you with a bright, large chandelier at its entrance, plush comfortable seating with cupholders and some with accompanying tables, and colours of rich burgundies and tans adorning the seats, the carpeting and the curtains. The lounge is the venue for a variety of evening stage shows including "Rock You Tonight," a musical tribute to rock icons such as Queen, Journey, The Who and Tina Turner; "World Beat," a theatrical showcase of cultures from around the world from New York City to South Africa to China; as well as comedians and other evening entertainment. There is one showing each night and seating is first-come, first-served. Doors usually open 30 minutes prior to showtime. During the day, the theatre is used for Bingo, movies, port shopping talks and other activities.
Daily Fun
Daytime activities run the gamut and include trivia contests about TV shows, music or more; interactive games in all forms such as bingo (with cash and cruise prizes), Scattergories and Deal or No Deal; Ping-Pong tournaments; various arts and crafts classes, including origami, card-making or napkin-folding; newly released movie showings; silent and live art auctions and fitness and wellness classes and seminars.
If you prefer to spend your days poolside, it's hard to miss the standing-deck-only contests such as the Mr. Sexy Legs competition or the Miss Norwegian Sun pageant. Other poolside activities include sail-away celebrations, live music, ice-carving demonstrations and other pool games. Want more? Keep an eye out for towel-animal folding, captain and senior officers Q&As, and wine pairings and classes (an extra fee applies for select art and wine classes).
At Night
Besides the main production shows, you'll find music galore, from live music by the pool, soft piano music in the lounges, karaoke contests, all sorts of dance classes, energetic DJ music and parties well into the night. There are also plenty of game shows, comedians, liquor tastings and art classes, bustling casino tournaments (slots, blackjack and Texas Hold'em) and games (slots, card games, roulette and baccarat), LGBTQ socials and more. Don't miss the White Hot Party (and its after-party) in the Bliss Lounge. It's Norwegian's signature dance party where passengers come donned in their best whites, neon glow accessories and dancing shoes. With so many things going on at night in different venues, it means no overcrowding in any given area.
Atrium Cafe and Bar (Deck 5) Centrally located in the hub of the atrium is this nice gathering spot to meet up with fellow passengers. With lots of seating, including barstools and comfortable tables and chairs, you can enjoy a cocktail or a speciality coffee, tea, pastry or chocolate (extra fees apply), complete with ocean views to one side and people-watching to the other. Open from early morning to late at night, typically 7 a.m. to midnight.
Bliss Ultra Lounge (Deck 5): Bliss Ultra Lounge is a bar and nightclub that doubles as an activities space during the day. A modern updated look includes new plush seating (lots of chairs and couches) in cream and deep burgundies and a fun polka-dot motif that starts at the glass entryway doors and continues to the carpeting and the cool lighted bar. After 11 p.m., Bliss becomes adults-only.
Windjammer Bar (Deck 6): This intimate nautical-themed bar, complete with leather and wicker chairs, maritime artwork and a glass-enclosed sailing ship model, is a favourite spot for live piano music and other nightly tunes over a speciality martini or other cocktail. During the day, you'll find it's a venue for trivia, games, arts and crafts, and other activities.
Havana Club (Deck 6): The intimate and dim cigar lounge, which is tucked behind the Windjammer Bar, features comfortable dark leather couches and oversized chairs and tables in a cosy setting that feels like a hidden escape. Enjoy a cocktail or spirit, including super-premium options like cognac or cordials, and select from a menu of cigars by the stick or by the tin. Cigars range in price from $5.95 for a Partagas No. 4 to $16.95 for a Cohiba Churchill or Davidoff Millennium 2000.
The Champagne Bar (Deck 7): Centrally located in the atrium, the Champagne Bar is a quiet spot to sip on -- what else? -- a bit of bubbly while taking in the action. Besides premium Champagnes (a glass of Veuve Clicquot is $23.75 and a bottle is $95), there's also vodka, caviar, pate and foie gras on the menu, making for a nice option for a gathering with friends.
Casino Bar (Deck 7): Located in the Sun Casino is the Casino Bar, which serves up cocktails and conversation for those partaking in casino games. Cigarette smoking is permitted when open during casino hours.
Sports Bar (Deck 11): This fun sports bar is the place to grab a beer and some bar food and check out whatever sporting event is on the big screens. The wood floors, wall panelling, long bars and countertops, dark leather seating, sports memorabilia and even a penny souvenir machine make for a quaint pub-like atmosphere. Also, it's the bar for night owls because it's open the latest (until 3 a.m.).
Topsiders Bar (Deck 11): The super-casual poolside Topsiders Bar is where you can grab a drink while still keeping an eye on your deck chair. Refreshing beverages include drinks of the day such as the line's signature Rebellious Fish (vodka, passion fruit puree, triple sec, orange and sparkling wine) and the sail-away-favourite Bahama Mama (white rum, gold rum, coconut rum, lemon juice, fresh pineapple, orange and grenadine), as well as all the bar staples you desire. Open hours vary, but it's mostly during peak pool hours. In addition, Topsiders Juice Bar also serves up a variety of fresh juices including orange, grapefruit, apple, carrot, celery, cucumber and more ($3.25 per glass) from early morning to early evening.
Great Outdoors Bar (Deck 11): Located all the way aft alongside the Great Outdoors Grill, this bar comes with good eats and great views. Grab a drink and then pull up a seat at one of the many sunny or shady seats and simply relax and take in the sea around you.
Spinnaker Lounge (Deck 12): The forward-facing Spinnaker Lounge, showcases a fresh design with colours of blue, beige and tan; new leather chairs, carpet, chandeliers, wall coverings and a stone top bar; and new Cuba-inspired artwork, including photographs and old travel posters that line the entryway to the lounge as well as surround the room. It's a serene place to relax and gaze at the panoramic ocean views by day and take in a variety of live music and dancing at night.
Champs Bar (Deck 12): Overlooking the Oasis pool and with ocean views in every direction, this casual, lively bar also features numerous tables and chairs with umbrellas for what's also one of the ship's smoking areas.
Pools
The main Oasis pool area consists of two swimming pools and four hot tubs. While it's sometimes hard to find a lounge chair right next to the pool, especially on sunny sea days, go a deck up and you'll find plenty more lounge chairs, tables and chairs on deck and next to Champ's Bar, which overlooks the pool.
There's also a small kids' pool area on Deck 12 that essentially consists of a hot tub and a mini-slide that leads to a tiny wading pool where parents can hang out in the water with their little ones. (Kids must be potty trained to use the pools; swim diapers are not permitted.)
Recreation
Deck 12's sports activities include good ol' shuffleboard, a Ping-Pong table, golf driving nets and a net-enclosed basketball/volleyball court.
Sun Deck
Above the pool on Deck 12 is a sea of blue chaise loungers as well as tables and chairs in front of Champs Bar. It's often more crowded right above the pool, but head forward or aft and you should be able to find a chair, even on busy sea days. Another great outdoor space where you can grab a seat in the sun, or in the shade under a large canopy if you prefer, is in front of the Great Outdoors grill, all the way aft on Deck 11, complete with wake views.
Onboard services include the quaint East Indies Library where you can take out books and play board games and card games. Library hours usually include an hour on embarkation day, a morning hour and evening hour on port days and two morning hours and two afternoon hours on sea days. A nice selection of books fill floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed bookcases around the room. There are also three small conference rooms, a chapel for at-sea nuptials or vow renewals, a medical centre and valet laundry service. (There is no self-service laundry fleetwide.)
You'll find a wealth of information in the atrium, including the shore excursion desk, a restaurant reservations desk, guest services, the port and shopping consultant desk and the CruiseNext desk, where you can take advantage of future cruise savings. Also surrounding the atrium are the computer stations of the Internet Cafe as well as shops selling everything from high-end watches and jewellery to fragrances, logo items, cruise merchandise and other souvenirs.
An art gallery is open for browsing during various evening hours, and there are silent and live art auctions throughout the cruise, complete with free artwork, raffles and Champagne. Feel free to pose questions to the knowledgeable art specialists from Park West Gallery if you spot a piece of interest.
Also, open for browsing (during various daily hours) is the photo gallery, where you simply locate the binder that coordinates with the photo number on your key card (not your cabin number), review the printed photos and decide on purchases. You can also swipe your card at one of the computer stations to see other photo options that can be created using your photos. This is a much easier way to find your ship photos rather than having to search along a wall of photos. The photo gallery also sells cameras, accessories and gifts. For a more formal photography session, the Perspectives Photo Studio offers an array of professional photography settings and options.
Shipwide Wi-Fi is available for laptops and smartphones throughout the ship and the Internet Cafe is open 24/7 (with select manager's hours). Packages include: Unlimited Wi-Fi ($29.99 per day) for unlimited web surfing, email access (no VPN), social media access and all apps; Unlimited Premium Wi-Fi ($34.99 per day) for unlimited web surfing, email access (including VPN), social media access, all apps and streaming; Unlimited Social Media ($14.99 per day) for access to the majority of social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, WeChat, etc.); and a 250-Minute Anytime Internet package ($125). Note: You can save up to 15 percent on Wi-Fi packages if you book online ahead of your cruise. In addition, you can stay in touch using in-stateroom phones ($4.99/minute).
The Norwegian iConcierge app, which you can download from the Apple or Android app stores, will keep you up-to-date about what's happening onboard; allow you to book shore excursions and make dinner reservations; and, for a nominal fee, call friends onboard or back home and text friends onboard. In addition, large TV monitors around the ship list the scheduled activities happening that day, dining availability for different time slots ("plenty of room," "filling up fast" and "worth the wait") and onboard promotions.
Spa
One of the spaces given a fresh design during the 2018 dry dock was the Mandara Spa & Salon on Deck 11, which features a reception desk and sitting area that leads to 12 treatment rooms, sauna and steam rooms, changing rooms and a relaxation area with serene ocean-view seating with a soothing blue and cream colour scheme. The spa space may be small compared to today's mega-ship spa standards (it's 1,231 square feet), but it boasts a long list of treatments and seminars.
The spa menu features a variety of Elemis facials; Swedish, aroma stone, bamboo, reflexology and couples massages; body treatments such as cellulite reduction, aroma spa seaweed massage and salt scrubs; and acupuncture. There are also medi-spa cosmetic services available including FDA-approved treatments such as Thermage CPT, Restylane Dermal Filler, Dysport and Botox cosmetic wrinkle treatments.
Special spa deals are offered throughout the cruise including embarkation-day offers, multiple-booking savings or port-day value pricing. There are also complimentary spa and health seminars scheduled throughout the cruise from Detox for Health and Weight Loss to Improving Posture and Relieving Pain with Good Feet. (Keep in mind, most of the seminars are intended to sell you something.)
A full-service salon, also with ocean views, provides hair services from cuts, styles and colouring to hair treatments like deep conditioning and Keratin. There are also nail services like manicures, pedicures and acrylics; waxing services; and special TimeforMen Barbering Services.
Note: An 18 percent gratuity is added to your spa and salon bill at checkout. Spa hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., except on the last day of the cruise when it closes at 8 p.m. Passengers must be at least 18 years of age to receive spa treatments or use the spa facilities unless participating in the kids or teen program. Salon services are available to all ages.
Fitness
The Pulse Fitness Center on Deck 11 encompasses an aerobics room for fitness classes throughout the day as well as an equipment room complete with treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, ellipticals and free weights. Both rooms boast floor-to-ceiling windows for wide ocean views while you work out. A full schedule of daily classes includes complimentary options such as Morning Stretch, Fab Abs and Total Body Conditioning as well as specialized fitness classes that range from yoga, Pilates and indoor cycling to TRX and Norwegian Fight Club ($12 to $25 per class). You can also opt for a Cruise Class Pass for $29, which allows you to choose from any classes (availability is limited, so you need to sign up to reserve your spot). Or sign up for a personal training session ($45/30 minutes or $85/hour), a Body Composition Analysis ($35) or a nutritional consultation ($85).
The fitness centre is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and no children under the age of 16 are permitted. An 18 percent service charge is added to all extra-fee fitness classes and services.
In addition, Norwegian Sun boasts a jogging/walking track on Deck 6 (jogging is allowed only between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.).
With 15 dining options onboard, passengers have plenty of dining options both day and night. The food aboard Norwegian Sun showcases a wide variety of quality, flavorful dishes no matter where you choose to dine. Those with dietary requirements, whether vegetarian or with certain ingredient aversions, will have no problem finding dishes to suit their needs. Check the Freestyle Daily to identify which outlets are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day as hours will vary.
Diners planning to book multiple reservations at speciality venues should consider the Specialty Dining Package, which allows them to sample a variety of dining options for one set price ($69 per person for three-meal package, $84 per person for four-meal; plus 20 percent gratuity and speciality service charge.) (If purchased online in advance, you'll save $10 off the price.) Alcohol is not included in the price and additional entree charges may apply for dining at Cagney's Steakhouse and Le Bistro.

Garden Cafe (Deck 11): This busy Lido buffet area is often crowded and sometimes congested. However, it's worth the wait for the wide variety of dishes including several speciality items such as an omelette station at breakfast and made-to-order crepes at select meals. Lunch and dinner include a salad bar and fruit; main dishes of meat, potatoes and vegetables; tempting pastries and breads (including Norwegian's signature pretzel rolls); a pasta station and a variety of pizzas.

When food is not being served, you are welcome to bring your plate from the nearby Great Outdoors buffet and order an accompanying drink from the bar.
Moderno Churrascaria (Deck 11): Perhaps the ship's best-kept secret (although not actually a secret -- details are in the Freestyle Daily) is that Moderno is open on a complimentary basis for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast features a deluxe continental spread while lunch features a pizza and pasta station. It's a quieter just-as-delish alternative to the other buffets.

The soothing decor is ocean-inspired with a palette of cool blues and silver and turquoise accents from the curtains to the bedding accessories. It was a little tight around the bed and in the bathroom in our balcony room, but the storage space is ample with a closet that includes hanging space, shelves and wire cubbies as well as numerous drawers and shelves in the stateroom.
