Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

I took this cruise on the Sun because of the itinerary and the overall non-NCL tour package that included stays in Buenos Aires and Santiago. The itinerary was outstanding, the SUN and NCL generally fair to adequate but rarely more than that.

MDR food was actually pretty good. Not gourmet, lower quantities, one less course and much planer presentation than HAL, Celebrity or Princess, but the food was acceptable and actually pleasant most of the time. This is the first cruise that I have lost weight on.

The Buffet food was also good for buffet food, but the buffet area was much too small with woefully inadequate seating. NCL staff allowed people who weren't eating to hog the scarce dining space while diners were looking for places to sit.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BB

Adequately sized, exactly what I expected and identical size to the Veranda Cabin I had on Celebrity Infinity at 170 sq ft. Good for 2 people would be crowded for more. Balcony was big enough for two people to use comfortably. Nice easy to use layout.

Bathroom was compact but comfortable to use except for the intermittent sewage smell.

Great view, comfortable, convenient, quiet slightly aft of midship location.

Cabin was in OK condition but showing some wear. Several rusted areas on balcony.

Should be a great cabin after it gets refurbished.
