Cabin: Aft-Facing Balcony

DW and I booked this cruise about nine months in advance. We were particularly attracted to the Sun because of the Eastern Caribbean itinerary and the fact that it left from Port Canaveral in central Florida. The PC location allowed us to spend a week with my Dad who lives in central Florida prior to embarkation. We also like the idea of the smaller ships and the Sun did not disappoint.

We arrived at the port around 11:30 and were quickly checked in and aboard. This whole process including paying corkage fee on wine took about twenty minutes. We made our way to the pool deck and waited for our friends to arrived from central Ohio.

The entire Sun staff went out of their way to be friendly, courteous and helpful. Our cabin steward, Freddy, was extremely helpful and on more than one occasion went out of his way to accommodate our particular needs. The wait staff in all the eating venues we visited were very helpful and accommodating. For instance, DW is allergic to uncooked onion and adjustments and recommendations were made to assure her that she got just what she wanted at every meal. Even the casino staff knew us and greeted us by name.

Cabin Review

Aft-Facing Balcony

Cabin B1

AS mentioned above we were in state room 0066, an aft balcony. This was a BD balcony but had wonderful storage and plenty of room. This was our first balcony cabin but the aft location sheltered us from the wind and provided a beautiful panoramic view from the back of the ship. I am a big guy and the shower was more than big enough even though at first glance this looked like it might be a challenge. Lots of storage, great view and shelter from the wind will have us start our search in this area again.
