Norwegian Sun Review

Additional details
Choosing Norwegian Sun: A travel agent suggested this cruse. The Norwegian line was chosen because I made a down payment on a future cruise when I cruised Boston - Bermuda on Norwegian.
Choosing the cabin: I choose cabin 8277 as cabins at the aft part of the cruise ship tend to be larger. My brother traveled with me and I'm left with the planning.
When reservations were made: The cruise was scheduled for 1.31.10 - 2.14.10. Reservations were made in Jan. 2009. What I wanted to know about the Norwegian Sun: I found what I wanted to know about the Sun from cruise critic and other sites. Cabin 8277 This is a suite cabin and when I saw the cabin I was disappointed as it was small and cramped compared to what I had seen on the internet. The bathroom was large and quite spacious. The verandah was spacious enough, but overall, the cabin is small. I roomed with my brother and told the steward that we are close but not that close. He replied saying that if he made the bed into singles, we would not be able to open the closet nor the bathroom via the bedroom. So Bob slept on the couch and I slept in the bedroom. Bob thought the room was adequate and had enough closet space. I also thought there was enough closet space. However this was for two people. For four, I doubt highly there would be enough space. Other cruisers who did not have a suite felt their cabin space was small. There was another problem. In order for my brother and I to have separate beds, my brother had to sleep on the couch and I the bedroom, which was ok but this made the living room inaccessible.
Cabin Review
Penthouse with Balcony
We had suite 8277 which my brother and I found to have adequate space for two people. But this cabin sleeps 4 and I doubt there is enough closet space for 4. Drawer space is adequate though. I found the bathroom space to be more than adequate. There is a bath, shower, toilet. However there is only 1 wash basin and all the lights must be turned on; you can not light just one. We had a problem. The agent did not warn us of this. I requested separate beds and when I got to the cabin I saw one bed. I mentioned this to the steward; he replied that he could separate the beds but in doing so we would not have access to the closet or 1 entrance to the bathroom (there are 2 entrances to the bathroom). So my brother slept in the living room while I slept in the bedroom.
