SheSailsFL Posted April 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The Sun has had its issues lately with the construction debacle and call us crazy! - we’re biting the bullet and booking for the Cuba itinerary in early June. Figure the ship will look nice at least! The ads and online booking graphics say the Sun has transitioned to an all-inclusive ship but there was no confirmation of this in cruise documents and there is still an option to purchase a beverage package during booking. Hoping this is all just the technology not being updated yet. I’m a little concerned with reviews I’ve read saying the crew is not aware of the all-inclusive process and people are still being charged for drinks. I would love to hear from passengers who have sailed on the Sun (or Sky) since the transition and your experience. If you were on the construction cruise from hell, you no doubt needed a few cocktails. How did it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheSailsFL Posted April 25, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Oh thanks. The reviews I read gave me the impression it’s been in place for a while. So hopefully the kinks will get worked out by June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drvmywifecrzy Posted April 26, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I was just on the Sky to Cuba and the all inclusive was awesome. Only water and Gatorade not included (unless you are on a CAS comp in the casino you can get free water. Even GSC was included with free drinks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsfamily Posted April 27, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We did the Sky last year before they were going to Cuba, free bar worked fine... no one has to show a card, no receipts, I did tip well at one bar we went to all the time, made a difference. Doing the Sun end of May and looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was the ship overall? Doing well after refurb? Everything seems to be sort of working for a old ship. All the refurbished works are done. I haven't seen them working during the cruise.

CruisingNole Posted May 23, 2018 #25 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Bar menu from May 7 Cuba cruise Somewhat disappointing, but given the dirt cheap fare, anything is better than nothing. Question - this will be my first cruise on NCL...is there typically a better beer and liquor selection on the "newer" ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
