Its hard to know where to start. This was a first cruise for my wife and I and we were well pleased with our choice of ship and itinerary.
We had heard less than encouraging comments about both embarkation and disembarkation from friends who had cruised with other lines and we were a little concerned about the length of time it might take. To anybody considering NCL leave these worries at home. This is a slick operation and the whole process of embarkation is determined by the speed at which you are able to walk. No lineups, no waits and really clear instructions. Leaving the ship at the end of the cruise was equally impressive. Everyone had a time (of your choice) and it went like clockwork. Congrats to the crew of NCL Sun for this.
Our cabin was one of the less expensive outside staterooms on the Biscayne deck. The guy or gal who designed this was nothing short of a genius. My wife and I don't travel light yet there were adequate hangers and closet/drawer space to handle more than we took. The space was impeccably clean and the housekeeping staff entered more than once each day to ensure we had everything we needed including turning down the bed and leaving mint chocolates on the pillows. Another nice thing we discovered was that our suitcases (27" size) easily fit under the comfortable beds.
