Hi! This is my first post. My family of 4 will be taking our first Norwegian cruise in July 2025 on the Norwegian Sun. We are currently booked in an Oceanview room but wanting to change to a balcony room as this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. My question is this: Which side of the ship should we book on for best views? I read somewhere (I can't find it now) but a lady mentioned missing lava from a volcano one night and how upset she was because she was on the wrong side. I don't know which island or how long ago this was either. 

Here is our itinerary, with some ports being overnight stops: 

• Honolulu,Oahu
• Kahului,Maui
• Nāwiliwili,Kaua`i
• Kona,Hawaii
• Hilo,Hawaii
• Bora Bora,French Polynesia
• Raiatea,French Polynesia
• Moorea,French Polynesia
• Papeete (Tahiti),French Polynesia
