LBS1 Posted March 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I am making plans to take the family on the Sun, next March. We are planning to be in one of the Penthouse cabins. Out of the six cabins, are the ones on decks 10, 8 or eight any better then the others? I have noticed on the NCL website the diagram shows the deck ten cabins slightly different. I am interested in quality of views, ie is being three decks closer to the water better or worse then on a higher deck? How about noise from other cabins and above or below. Does any have a bigger balcony or are the rooms slightly different on the different decks. I am most interested in hearing from those who have stayed in those cabins. (and I know a higher cabin will move more then lower, so please don't go there....again.) Looking forward to next year!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdchiefthom Posted March 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I spent 9 fantastic days on the Sun last April in the starboard AC, aft on deck 10. The balcony was absolutely huge, a wrap around, two sliding glass doors, one from the livingroom and the other through the separate bedroom. The closet space is awesome and has a separate sitting area, and a walk through bathroom with a separate bath and shower. The wrap around balcony gives you access to views from the starboard side of the ship, as well as gorgeous views of the wake and a minimum amount of wind. The AC's on deck 10 have slightly larger balconies than the ones below. Believe me, you won't be sorry cruising in this suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey and Kerry Posted March 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2007 We were on deck 9 in an AC on the Sun and thought it was wonderful! Same 2 balcony entrances as the previous poster mentioned. We picked Deck 9 so we would have cabins above and below us, in case there might be noise from the Stardust Theater (below Deck 8) or the Outdoor Cafe (above Deck 10). The cabin itself was magnificent and the bathroom - well after that we didn't want to go home to our puny bathroom! You will enjoy it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk218 Posted March 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2007 LBS1, First if you give me your e-mail Ill send a bunch of pics. That said , when we are on the SUN , the aft AC suites are all we will book. Have stayed on decks 8 , 9 ,10 . As mentioned the balconys are fantastic. You wont notice a big difference in size by deck. All are great , heres my preference...Deck 9 (9276)starboard side , I like to be pier side when in port.pluss I like having a suite above and below. Deck 8 same. You do have the stardust lounge under you but only hear a bit of music late and not for long. Deck 10 also great ,my only minor iritation was early morning they moved the chairs aruond upstairs In the great outdoor cafe. Again minor , but you asked. Only other thing is I found the sitting area on 9 to be just a bit larger than on 8&10. Butr no matter which you pick you will love these aft ac's.

snowman Posted March 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2007 We were on deck 8 last week and I liked it. I think all of the above posters are right on. We could faintly hear the lounge for about 10 minutes at night but not a lot. I like deck 8 because you can leave the deck door open and hear the ocean at night.

LBS1 Posted March 17, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Thanks all to those who answered. After your suggestions, I am looking at booking 0265 on Deck 10. I am leaning toward it mostly because I want to have a bit of the wraparound view from the balcony to the starboard side, and that sounds like what the Deck 10 gives a bit more of then the others. Can the people from the restaurant above look down onto the balconies? If you have photos please email them to me at b.sahm@hotmail. com Thanks and I hope the next year goes quickly.

LBS1 Posted March 25, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Another question regarding these suites... Does the balcony door open between the suite and the connecting balcony cabin next door? Still looking for photos of the room and the aft end of the ship... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
