Thanks so much for the detailed review. I was on the same cruise with my family and am "reliving" my good time by reading about your experiences. Had a wonderful experience on the Sun. I don't think the weather could have been more perfect. Thanks again.

Agreed! Thank you. Lesson learned.

No 2 for 1 pricing etc. We paid the quoted price for both rooms. If given the choice we would have chosen the UDP rather than the soda. I just expected that a TA would ask us before booking. And...have let us know that the 24 YO couldn't receive the UBP due to spring break rules-which I tend to agree with BTW. As it stands now, we booked a room and didn't receive a promotion that we would actually use.

Hello,

I'm taking my first cruise with my family March 22-29 on the Sun. I couldn't be more excited but I think I've made a rookie mistake-aided by my lackluster travel agent. I had to book through a specific TA to use a small voucher I received at work. I found the promotion on NCL and asked her to book it. We decided on two ocean view rooms with 2 people in each rather than a balcony room for 4. I would rather have had the balcony but after thinking about it decided it would be too cramped!

Long story short we thought we would be getting the UBP for out 24 year old daughter in the ocean view room. Obviously, we knew our 16yo would not receive it. After booking the travel agent told us that both my daughters would receive the soda package. I now understand why we didn't get the UBP but shouldn't we have been offered something better than soda? The girls rarely drink it. Any options? Cruise will be great anyway.

Hello. In case you can't tell I'm brand new to cruising and this forum-any forum really! Any help you all can offer would be appreciated. I'm trying to book the Norwegian Sun for myself, husband and two daughters ages 15 and 23. Should we get a balcony room and two "free" beverage packages or get two ocean view rooms? I think the price would be the same and we would receive another bev. package for our adult daughter. I guess my major question is: Can four people really share a cabin for 7 days in comfort? It the couch/futon comfortable or will it be 7 days of complaining? Should we just give up on the balcony and get two rooms? I love the idea of a balcony but would we really use it? Thanks again.
