Norwegian Cruise Line: Norwegian Sun

Accommodations

Layout: Staterooms are a bit more generous in size than on the older vessels in the NCL fleet and contain more than adequate closet and drawer space for a one-week cruise. More than two-thirds have an ocean view, and nearly two thirds of those have a private balcony. Clever use of primary colors and strategically placed mirrors achieves an open feeling. All have a sitting area with sofa, chair, and table. Suites have walk-in closets.

Amenities: Light-wood cabinetry, mirrored accents, a small refrigerator, tea/coffeemaker, personal safe, broadband Internet connections, duvets on beds, a wall-mounted hair dryer over the dressing table, and bathrobes for use during the cruise are typical standard amenities. Bathrooms have shampoo and bath gel in shower-mounted dispensers as well as limited bathroom storage.

Suites: Suites include such luxuries as whirlpool tubs and entertainment centers. Butlers and a concierge are at the service of suite occupants.

Good to Know: Connecting staterooms are available in several categories, including those with balconies. Oddly sandwiched in between Deck 6 and Deck 7 forward is Deck 6A, which has no direct elevator access. Sixteen cabins are wheelchair-accessible.
