Norwegian Sun Review

Additional details
We were a multi-generational family group with one 9 year old child, two sets of grandparents and my DH and I. First cruise for ALL of us - so none of us knew what to expect.
I did HEAPS of research and was the main trip-planner for our group, so I read loads of reviews and got thoroughly bogged down trying to choose which cruise, which itinerary, which ship, etc. In the end the sail date from Vancouver, one-way itinerary to Seward and port stops including sailing through Glacier Bay were the kickers, along with a free Ultimate Beverage Package and 3 specialty dining vouchers sealed the deal for us.
OUR ROOM: Because we got such a good deal (booked over a year in advance via NCL) we all decided to splurge on balcony rooms. And our room was inter-connecting with my parents. We were delighted with our choice. The Alaskan air, views and sea are all so stunning, fresh and always changing. It was wonderful to stand on our own quiet balcony and take in the view, look out for whales and dolphins and get a bit of fresh air.
Cabin Review
Family Balcony
Loved our balcony cabin. 9th floor rear was a really good location.
Plenty of storage - we unpacked (hang up as much as you can in the closet) and put suitcases under the bed and in the end we had a whole cabinet we didn't use.
We brought one of those hanging pocket things and used this for cameras, lanyards, phones, etc. It was helpful but not essential. There was plenty of space for 2 adult and 1 child (on pull-out couch - firm).
