NCL Sun Questions

We are considering the NCL Sun for a cruise out of New Orleans. We are
looking at Cat. AC or AD. I would be interested in hearing from anyone
who has been on the Sun in one or both of these categories. My questions:

AC cabins are aft and AD are in the bow. I am a bit concerned about the
wind on the balcony of an AD cabin facing forward. Is this a problem?

From the deck plans both of these seem to have several different
layouts. Can anyone recommend (pro or con) a specific cabin# in either
category?

I have read in several reviews that all cabins have a coffee pot. Some
say it is a drip coffee maker (like they have in hotel rooms), and some
say it is just a pot for boiling water. Our TA could not get a
definitive answer from NCL. Anyone know?

If you have any other info, opinions or tips about the Sun, we would
appreciate hearing them.

Thanks.
