Norwegian Sun Review

Additional details
I have greatly enjoyed reading the ship reviews on Cruise Critic and I would like to return the favor with a summary of our experience on the Sun. We did the Western Caribbean sailing (Honduras, Belize, Costa Maya & Cozumel); February 15 – 22, 2015.
While this was our first time on the Sun, we do have extensive cruise experience, having been on NCL for 13 previous cruises and another dozen on other cruise lines (Celebrity, Carnival, RCCL, etc.). My wife and I traveled with our two daughters who were playing hooky from school that week; one is a sophomore in college (she turned 20 on our last sea day) and the other is 22 and in graduate school. We were joined by my in-laws who had driven over from their retirement home in the Daytona Beach area.
I’m sure the review will be overly long for some folks – here are the sections if you just want to read the part(s) of interest to you:
Cabin Review
Family Inside
My wife and I were on 0329 (they leave off the first digit for the upper decks so that every cabin has a 4 digit room number – we were on deck 10) and the in-laws in 8314. The in-laws also have been on a couple of dozen cruises and they were very pleasantly surprised with their room. We found that the extra room in the family inside (about 30 square feet more than the basic inside cabin) was very noticeable and made for a much more spacious cabin. I can’t imagine any couple possibly filling up the storage spaces, unless they’re traveling with multiple steamer trunks. We certainly don’t travel “light” and we still had several drawers/ shelves unused.
