Cabin: Junior Suite
We were limited to choose between several 3 day cruises and this 5 day cruise because of our family conflicts. My husband and I chose this cruise as it was similarly priced compared to the 3 night cruises we had priced.
I was a little nervous because the ship is older but read the reviews and and was reassured that it had recently been renovated.
We were celebrating my husbands 50th birthday so we splurged a little and booked a junior suite. The cost was not drastically more than a balcony but it got us priority embarkation and disembarkation, which was important for us to get our flight home. At the time of booking we found a promo online which got us $200 drink credit which further offset the upgrade.
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
Cabin JS
Large cabin. Clean with plenty of storage. Balcony slightly larger than regular balcony cabins. Comfortable bed, very attentive room attendant spoiled us. Mini fridge was not very cold but really handy to have.
