Then you posted the big waterpark pic. It is the same island!😄 so the first pic is CocoCay… second is GSC (which is waaaaay larger)… and the third is the tiny gap between the two 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted March 14 Author #436 Share Posted March 14 Just took an incredible shower. The bathroom is probably the smallest cruise ship bathroom I’ve had (not counting studios obvi), but the water pressure is fantastic and it’s instantly at temp. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcrum Posted March 14 #438 Share Posted March 14 We are taking our first post-COVID NCL cruise next month. Is housekeeping down to once a day now? MSC is still doing twice a day, but I thought I read that NCL had changed. Curious as to your experience. Thank you. BTW, we did the NCL Star to Alaska years ago. Is the Sun the same class of ship? Enjoying your review! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying your review! thanks!! Housekeeping is once a day like Carnival. Princess still does twice a day service as of a few months ago, but that’s rarer these days. Star is a Jewel class ship, newer and a little larger than Sun. Sun and Sky (former Pride of Aloha) are the only two in the class. Sky was a Costa hull that went unfinished and NCL bought it and finished it (and built the Sun later) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so happens that the Jewel Class ships are my favs. Been on the Gem(8), Pearl(4), Jade(4) and Jewel once. Don't like Star after one TA and have no intention of getting on the Dawn. Don't think they are similar in that the latter 2 don't have a Great Outdoors which is my fav hangout spot on Jewel Class ships. I had a good time on the Sun for 22 days repositioning from San Antonio, Chile to San Francisco a couple of years before COVID-19.

Been on Jewel and Jade, Pearl this summer. I enjoyed the Dawn quite a bit, never sailed on Star. Great Outdoors is really the only difference, but I really love Great Outdoors so that definitely matters if everything else is equal. man, that Sun itinerary sounds AMAZING! I’d love to do something like that someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
