Cabin Review

Our Cabin (Number 110, category BX) was an Ocean View with 188 sq’ which is about the same size as one on a River Cruise ship which was the same layout as all others (except the owner’s Suite 220 sq’)

Unfortunately, room 110 was located near the ship’s turbine powered generator so the noise was quite loud. The next morning we asked the Reception Desk if it were possible to change rooms. Fortunately there were other rooms available that were much quieter so we moved to room 204. I later checked the noise levels at the rest of the ship and found that the rooms forward of rooms 120 and 220 were very quiet.

The layout of both rooms was very well designed with plenty of storage. It had a large closet, a four drawer dresser, and storage bins overhead. There's also open shelving on either side of the queen size bed. Our room also had table with two seats that converted into a small bed for a child if needed. There were also reading lights above the bed and five 110-volt electrical outlets located in useful places. There was a clock in the room so we easily knew the time.

The bathroom was good size and very well designed. The shower was the best of any cruise ship or hotel that I have ever experienced.

Amenities included a 30-inch flat-screen TV (with a DVD player), a small fridge with complimentary sodas, robes and slippers, toiletries from L'Occitane, a hairdryer, safe. The TV channels included BBC, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, US Prime, Sky News and Sky Sports News in addition three movie channels.
