Size of the cabins on the Sun are great. Lots of storage space. Room 0002 is on the 10th floor, 2 doors down from the Staff Cabins. Location is excellent - stairs and elevators just down the hall. No noise issues.  Read entire member review.

We were in cabin 0015, which was below the fitness room but it wasn't a big deal. Great location for access to the ship, had 8 elevators and stairway very close. Plenty of storage space, TV could have been bigger, but didn't spend much time watching it. Bed was really nice, wider than expected and comfy. Balcony was a good size and we spent a lot of time out there.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 0031 was just the right size for two adults. Balcony great but one lounger would be appreciated. Bathroom is OK but sometimes an "outhouse" smell was evident. Lots of drawer and closet space and lots of hangers. Bed was very comfortable and able to adjust the temperature was a plus. Need to update the TV. Coffee pot and fridge was much appreciated. A magnified makeup mirror would be great at the vanity.  Read entire member review.

Surprinsly the cabin seemed larger then on the Pearl. Bathroom was a bit tight but not too bad considering most hotels in Europe had bathrooms about the same size or smaller! Was showing its age a bit but still a wonderful ship. Not too big not too small. Balconys are very nice! We were midship and hardly felt the ship moving at all.  Read entire member review.

Balcony size is bigger than normal Norwegian cruise line but shower room is tiny.  Read entire member review.

Without a doubt somewhat cramped,but something is wrong with the ammount of vibration felt in this cabin.  Read entire member review.

Cabin was excellent, spacious for 2, but no more, I'd say. Balcony was my favorite. Deck 8, a bit forward of midship. Easy access to elevators. Clean, though sofa/fold out bed was pretty dated looking, it was comfortable to sit on. TV was also old, but who the hell watches TV on a cruise, unless you're sick? LOVED the balcony, left the doors open 24/7 to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. If I were going on the same ship, I'd seriously consider trying to book the same room.  Read entire member review.

Balcony cabin 8253 on the Sun was an average balcony cabin. Bathroom was a bit small, but serviceable. Be aware, due to very small shower stall, it will flood if you are not careful. Always had plenty of hot water in the bathroom. Large couch was a plus, and there was ample room for luggage and plenty of room for clothing and other items. Balcony was quite small - it had a door, rather than a slider, which made the balcony seem even smaller. Barely room for two chairs and a tiny table on the balcony. Beds were not firm, but comfortable during our 15 night cruise. Cabin is a bit cramped when separating the bed into twin beds - have to be careful getting around the end of the bed closest to the bathroom, or you will constantly bang your leg into the cabinet.  Read entire member review.

Stewards are not up to cruise line standards, but the room was quite nice. Large with plenty of storage and a nice balcony with great balcony chairs.  Read entire member review.

OUR CABIN WAS WITH A BALCONY AND ALBEIT THERE WAS A FEW MINOR MATTERS TO PUT RIGHT SUCH AS SOILED BEACH TOWELS AND DIRTY FINGER MARKS OVER THE MIRRORS AND DOORS THERE WAS LITTLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. THERE WAS ADIQUATE STORAGE WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING AS MY WIFE TENDST " TO TAKE THE KITCHEN SINK WITH US ON HOLIDAY " ,AS WE SAY IN THE UK. THE VIEW WAS VERY GOOD INDEED AND THE BALCONY SAFE AND AS I SAY THE CABIN WAS VERY GOOD WITH NO NOISE AS VERY FEW CHILDREN WERE ON BOARD.  Read entire member review.

Wonderfully quiet, excellent location, good balcony, entrance congested by front, wardrobe and bathroom doors opening into the same space, convertible couch not the most comfortable of seats, plenty of hanging and drawer space, coffee maker a plus, bathroom and shower compact but very good.  Read entire member review.

Great! Lots of storage space. Conveniently located near elevators/stairs.  Read entire member review.

Beautiful Baltics on the Sun We are a couple who always chooses the itinerary first, and the ship second. We have sailed NCL on several occasions in the past, and have always been pleased with the value offered. NCL did not let us down with their Baltic Sun sailing. Embarkation Embarkation was very organized. We arrived at the port directly from an overnight flight from NY. We took a taxi to the port and waited for them to open at 10:30 a.m. We were on board by 11:30 a.m. We went directly to the MDR that was open for lunch, the Seven Seas, and had a nice quiet lunch. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather on most days of this cruise. We sent up to the sun deck, and took a little nap until 2:00 p.m. and our rooms were available. Public Rooms and Cabins We did not notice any wear and tear in any of the public rooms or our cabin. What I did notice is that the overall decor needs updating to bring some modern energy to the ship. We were in an inside cabin IA, on deck 9. The cabin was larger than any inside cabin and even some balcony cabins we have been in. Plenty of storage space. Deck 9 is the perfect deck if you want a quiet floor, nothing but cabins above and below you. The ship is laid out a little "weird" but it just something you need to get used to. Fitness & Recreation The ship had a nice sized workout room with modern equipment. The Sun also has the Promenade Deck which goes completely around the ship. If you circle the ship 3 1/3 times you have walked a mile. I loved doing that each day. Enrichment I enjoyed both the German Folk Dance show and the Russian Folk show that was offered on the ship. There was also a Russian language class and a Viking history class offered. Dining We ate at both MDRs. We found them almost identical. The food was tasty and plentiful. Every night you are presented with a new menu. The left side has new options and the right side has everyday options. With choices such as salmon, rib eye steak, roast chicken offered every night, you can't go wrong. The presentation of the food can be improved. Also, if you are looking for gourmet fine dining, then the NCL Sun is not for you. We never had trouble getting a table, and most tables had fabulous views through large picture windows. We did notice that 8:30 was a busy time in the MDRs. We ate at two specialty restaurants, and didn't think they were worth the extra fee. We enjoyed the MDRs just as well. For lunch there are several options. I am not a fan of buffet dining because I am a teacher and it always reminds me of a school cafeteria. The Great Outdoors is a wonderful option for those who want a buffet for lunch or breakfast and want to enjoy the out doors. We enjoyed Moderno for lunch. They have a quick sandwich, pizza or pasta option here, and that is what we enjoy for lunch. Most days, weather permitting, the ship had a NCL BBQ for lunch or sail away also. Breakfast can be eaten in the Seven Seas, which we enjoyed for a nice relaxing start to the day including French toast, my favorite, or hubby's favorite, Eggs Benedict. But with this itinerary, a visit to the buffet is in order. The breakfast buffet is like every cruise breakfast buffet I have seen. I did notice something called breakfast pizza in Moderno, but didn't try it. On the mornings we had to wake up extra early, we had room service deliver a continental breakfast including a full pot of coffee to the room. It was always delivered exactly on time. If you enjoy an afternoon snack, there is always coffee and cake, or ice cream available at the Great Outdoors. Entertainment We thought the entertainment was very good. When you cruise, you expect a certain type of show, and all of the three shows we saw were very enjoyable. We also enjoyed the live music acts placed throughout the ship. The musicians on the Sun are all exceptional and very talented. Service All of the service providers were helpful and friendly. Our room steward worked very hard to keep our room clean. We always had fresh towels, and turn down service. The waiters and waitresses always served with a smile. The running joke on the ship is the hostess in the Garden Cafe who sprays your hands with sanitizer. Washy Washy girl. Everybody loved her. Shore Excursions We used both NCL shore excursions with private tour companies. For St Pete, you need to research a private tour operator. Don't be afraid of what you read about Visas. The operators that are mentioned here on Cruise Critic will obtain a special Visa for you. You can see so much more, for less money by using a private tour. The NCL excursions that we did use, were well run and worth the money for those particular excursions if you did not want to DIY. Value for Money This is the number one reason we chose the NCL Sun for our Baltic cruise. If you research other cruise lines and compare, you will notice the large price difference. With the money saved, we spent it on the excursions and special meals in the ports. Don't forget the beautiful souvenirs in Russia. Overall The NCL Sun is a very nice ship and is perfect for the Baltic itinerary.  Read entire member review.

Appreciated mid-ship location during rocky seas. Balcony was great! Seemed convenient to everything and incredibly soundproof. Did have an occasional dripping noise (but we don't think it was actually a drip) coming from one area of the ceiling that we learned to ignore but was a little annoying at first (only noticed when going to sleep).  Read entire member review.

Great Storage and GREAT STEWARD!!! Go Dinkie!!!  Read entire member review.

Our stateroom (9262) was aft on Deck 9, with balcony. It was clean and well tended by the stewards. However, it was small and crowded. One twin bed stuck out in the passageway so that we had to walk sideways to get to the bathroom, closet, or door. There did not appear to be any way to reconfigure the room to prevent this. We loved the towel animals the steward left for us each day. Our cabin steward was very efficient and pleasant.  Read entire member review.

Cabin: 9274, BB Category Balcony, aft. The room was big enough for the two of us and our bags fit nicely in the closet and under the bed. The balcony was quite spacious and we spent a lot of time out there. I do not like crowds so not having to clamor for viewing space on the public areas was priceless. Reading a book or sipping a drink as the amazing scenery passed you by was incredible. The bathroom is small, yet functional. The bathroom size bothered my SO but was okay for me. Next time Id go for a mini-suite if were could afford it, just for the added space.  Read entire member review.

It was an outside balcony, midship port. Nice cabin, about the same size as Carnival, a little bigger then RCL. Nice large balcony, decent balcony furniture. Basic but ok bathroom. Good storage.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 8235. Mid ship balcony is perfect for getting to either end of the ship quickly. I have slight motion problem and this location let me take much less medicine. We had storage to spare. Each of us had a 25" suitcase and the drawers at the far end were not used at all. The suitcases fit under the bed. The bathroom is compact but worked fine. We washed a few undies and used the tiny clothes line in the shower. The bed was comfy.  Read entire member review.

Fjord Deck - BB Class cabin (balcony) was very nice.  Quiet because it was sandwiched between two other accommodations decks.  Bathroom was a bit smaller than others I have experienced, but certainly enough room.  Read entire member review.

Rooms are quite soundproof and ample in size. The closet and bathroom has loads of drawer space, shelving and bin space.  Read entire member review.
