This cruise was about escaping reality instead of going to exotic places or doing unique things. We used Marriott Vacation Club points to get a penthouse suite on the front of the NCL Sun. We were in the corner and our balcony was very private. We had a butler if we needed some extra food in our room, and we could eat in a private dining room for breakfast and lunch. It was the first cruise we took dealing with Madeline’s dairy & egg allergies, so the private room was beneficial. The ship was one of the smaller ones, so not a lot of amenities, but we enjoyed the pool, the free Wi-fi package, and the free alcohol.

Cruise 20—NCL bahamas

09/26/19—09/30/19

We really didn’t know what the perks were of the penthouse, but we had our own check-in line and we were escorted to the ship. The room was huge and the bathroom immense, with a tub and a real shower. Our butler brought us flowers, fruit, and food throughout the cruise. The balcony was hidden, so we could enjoy it in different ways.

We didn’t spend a tremendous time at the pool, but when we did, we always seemed to have a drink in our hands.

There were times we felt like the ship was empty, but we did find someone to take a picture of us on the staircase.

Madeline enjoyed the casino and actually won a bit. She even managed to stay out of jail.

The private dining room was actually the steakhouse at night. We enjoyed our breakfast and lunch every day. We enjoyed our last breakfast with our new friends, Rachel & Mark.

The ship had some entertainment, like the Battle of the Sexes game and some of your general shows. They had a Glow Party one night, which we geared up for with… you guessed it… more drinks before the dancers came out and then we watched the guests let loose.

So long NCL Sun. You enabled us to get away from it all.
