My wife and I did out first ever cruise just over a year ago on the NCL Sun and had a great time. We wanted to try out the bigger ship and glad we did.
Pre Cruise
We flew to Miami the day before and stayed at the Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon by the airport, and booked the port transfer as part of the accommodation package. This worked well, and quite a few of the hotel guests did the same thing. The hotel was your average Hampton Inn which is what we wanted.
Cabin 11077
Not huge, but not cramped by any means. Were just forward of stairs and elevator which was a great location. Very well soundproofed. Balcony was just right size. Cabin had plenty of storage space, great shower in size and water pressure. Comfortable bed.
