jimswims Posted September 4, 2011 #76 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Great pictures. I have never really seen the NCL Sun. It is on my list as I try to work my wat through the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted September 4, 2011 #77 Share Posted September 4, 2011 We've got the Gem in Jan 2012. We've been on the Gem several times (including a "rocky" T/A last Fall), but I'll do the same photo tour pics...it's fun to do and nice to give back to the CC folks. We were on that sailing, too! Even waves up to deck 12 didn't stop us from booking another T/A. Hoping we don't have the same experience this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or water coming through the doors on deck 7, chairs and people toppling over and the closure of most of the dining areas. Bonine works wonders!

Thanks. :) Use any Photo hosting site (like Webshots or Flickr) to upload your pictures. Then, to insert them in a post, get the URL link (or Image Link/Location) of the desired photo and place it in the Insert Image box that pops up when you hit this icon -> when composing a post.

skymama815 Posted September 5, 2011 #86 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I cannot thank you enough for posting these photos. We are sailing on the Sun next month and I haven't been able to find any photos of her on CC. Did you by any chance get any photos of the kids pool? We are bringing our kids and I am curious what that pool looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computerworks Posted September 5, 2011 Author #87 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Did you by any chance get any photos of the kids pool? We are bringing our kids and I am curious what that pool looks like. I don't think so. It is way topside, on a different deck than the Pool Deck (Deck 11). We did see it and it was in a very nice, sheltered area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poffles Posted September 5, 2011 #91 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Your pictures are fantastic. We are thinking of an 11 day Southern cruise on the Sun and wondered how it would compare to the Pearl (the only NCL I've been on). It looks great, buffet a little tighter but so what. Thanks for sharing!!! Updated to ask ... is there a large movie screen anywhere on this ship? One thing I didn't like about the Pearl was the large screen in the main atrium .. dumb location. Nothing like trying to enjoy the space with Wii being played on the big screen next to you. I don't see one outside in your pictures so perhaps there is none on this ship???

Sauer-kraut Posted September 5, 2011 #92 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Did you by any chance get any photos of the kids pool? We are bringing our kids and I am curious what that pool looks like. The hot tub is in the middle and the pool part is towards the wall of deck 11. The second shot is taken from deck 12 looking into the empty hot tub, and the pool part is the LIGHT blue water towards the bottom of the image. (The darker blue is the deck above the pool).

I don't see one outside in your pictures so perhaps there is none on this ship??? No big screen (atrium too small), no outside screen, no movie theater. They did show a movie each afternoon in one of the Conference rooms. Plus, ship TV had three movie channels (3 languages) that repeated reasonably recent movies in room.

bostongal965 Posted September 10, 2011 #96 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thank you for the wonderful pictures!! I was on the Sun in Feb for my 25th anniversary - we booked another within a week of coming home - New Year's Eve, 2011 :-) The pics were both a great memory and a great preview! Getting excited!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted September 11, 2011 #97 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks again' date=' computerworks.We loved the Observations Lounge, and I spent time there daily. I kept a cruise diary and wrote an article for my industry's local newsletter on my laptop daily from the lounge. Good memories for me; that's where I first tasted a favorite of mine, the chocolate martini! ;)[/quote'] We spent 33 days aboard the Sun last September/October, b2b2b cruises, and the Observation lounge was my favorite too. I spent many quiet hours there reading on non-port days. I also kept a cruise diary (in a spiral notebook, not on laptop) and updated it daily, usually in the observation lounge, enjoying the scenes through the huge windows on three sides. I also enjoyed standing out on that small deck outside the observation window, in the bow, enjoying the view when we'd come into port. THANKS, computerworks for the fantastic photos. They bring back happy memories. I'd love to sail aboard the Sun again. Edited September 11, 2011 by NMLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARFISH*4 Posted September 11, 2011 #98 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So what other cruises do you have booked? Are you on the Sun again in 2012? Who knows what December may bring.:) Deb, we have 2 this December and 2 next...all B2Bs on the Sun--if you can see in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted September 16, 2011 #99 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hi -- I LOVED your photos! Seeing them makes me even more excited for my upcoming Sun cruise. I noticed one photo that said "smoking area, deck 12 aft". Other than the casino, do you know what the other public smoking areas are? Is the Great Outdoors still a place to grab a smoke? Just asking; my intention is not to start a smoking debate... Thanks, TracyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall about the Great Outdoors, the one day i was out there it was so windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
