We chose Cunard - curious to sample the luxury service they claim to offer.
The ship was indeed beautiful, clean and elegant. I was delighted with the stateroom - although anyone over a size 14 will have trouble fitting into their shower cubicle (and this applies to the higher costing staterooms as well)
Plenty of storage space and the balcony was a little deeper than those on other cruise ships (this had been shaved off the length of the cabin - but worked ok)
Well appointed, Attractive decoration. Very small shower (all like that on ship)
Deeper balcony than on other ships
No noise from surrounding areas
No obstruction
