mcguy79 Posted October 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I was just looking on NCL's website, and it looks like the Sun is the smallest ship in terms of passenger capacity. I'm sailing on the Sun in February 2011. I've previously sailed on the Dawn and the Jewel. Is there a noticeable difference in the size of the ship, the crowds, or the amenities? Just curious. I like the idea of it being a little less crowded, but I also don't want the ship to feel quiet or empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted October 20, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The Sun is just a little smaller. I think you will find the pool area much larger then the Dawn. The down side is the buffet area is much smaller and can seem crowded. That is offset but the Great Outdoors that the Dawn does not have. I have been on the Sun 3 times and loved her. Not the glitz of the newer ships but more subdued and a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyvillage Posted October 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Sailed the Sun for a long Panama Canal cruise and loved every minute. Never felt crowded nor too small. In fact, our mini-suite seemed larger than our other MS on Star. Once they upgrade the bedding, TVs, etc. she should be really sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin Posted October 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Some good answers. If you LOVE the Epic, you will likely hate the Sun. IMO the size of the Sun is ---perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENGINEER Posted October 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've been on both. I doubt most people would even notice any size difference. I'm sure you'll love it. engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcguy79 Posted October 20, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thank you for all the responses! It wasn't a huge concern, but I definitely wanted to check. I'm happy about the Sun having a Great Outdoors; it's a great spot to sit and have drinks and watch the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted October 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have sailed both. The Sun doesn't flow as well as the Dawn, and has some areas of tight space. But, you are already booked, and unless you are open to changing your cruise, who cares??? :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't like the days when we had ships that held a thousand passengers compared to 2500. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
