Cabin Review

Our cabin was one of the simplest offered on this ship. But without question the space and layout made this cabin (at the lowest level), as luxurious as many higher-end choices on other premium/luxury cruise lines. On the three "Star class" ships; every suite is at least 277sqft, has an easy curtain to separate the bed area from the seating area, and has a very roomy marble bathroom with a double sink.

Number 117 is next to the staff "butler's pantry" and service elevator for the whole deck. We seldom heard anything. And we never heard the elevator. This is really the quietest ship we have ever been on.

Our cabin and bathroom were spotless. They remained that way, without ever feeling like our steward was over-organizing our space. And the best touch here is the walk-in closet. Yes this is an older ship, but nothing feels like it has not been taken care of and everything is well maintained.

A special note about "adjoining/connecting cabins": I just about every case on this ship, each cabin shares a short outer hallway with a cabin to its left or right. There is then an outer door that is never used unless needed to connect two cabins. This means it would likely be easy to get connected space regardless of where your cabin is on the ship. This may only prove difficult when as the ship gets very near to sold-out. Additionally, the ability for families or friends adjoining each other to still have their own privacy, when wanted, is easy and does not get in the way keeping a shared connection. A great part of the original design, which is now often incorporated into the design for new ships.
