Very quiet part of the ship. Being close to the front meant more movement during force 9, 8 and 7 gales. King sized, comfortable bed. Large sofa, plenty of storage and great balcony. Balcony door whistled when strong winds blew from port side. Bathroom compact but functioned well.  Read entire member review.

Where to start!! by Donaldc134
Was OK other than needing a complete refit. The room as the rest of the ship is getting old and it appears that not much updating has been done,as the little holes in the black out curtains showed!  Read entire member review.

Great view. Great Balcony. The cabin cleaning crew just did the basic cleaning. Nothing over and beyond. First time we never tipped over the designated tip.  Read entire member review.

Great location. Not affected by the very rough waters. Great balcony--port side and always in the sun. Needs upgraded TV. Bathroom needs to get rid of hose hair dryer and have regular hair dryer to take out to the large mirror in the room. Also, on the plus side, the circular shower curtain is more comfortable that a shower door.  Read entire member review.

Lots of storage space but very noisy from the movement of chairs and tables from the deck above.  Read entire member review.

Wonderful balcony, very comfortable beds, lots of storage, very small but user-friendly bathroom, a little tight between the bathroom and the bed.  Read entire member review.

The ship shows its age, however, the cabin was one of the best I had in the cruises I have been on. Very large and clean. The sofa would need to be changed, but didn't bother us. We were on the 10th floor towards the AFT. A bit far from the elevators ( which I think they should have more ). We were very satisfy with our cabin. The Balcony was one of the biggest we had, and lots of closet space.  Read entire member review.

Our cabin was quiet with a great view from the balcony. One of our deck chairs had a tear in it but otherwise the room was perfect.  Read entire member review.

We had originally booked an inside cabin, but the price kept dropping and dropping and we ended up getting a balcony room for an extra $100. The room had tons of storage, and the balcony window let in lots of sunshine (at 4 am when the sun rose!) Downsides are the shower curtain that attacked you when you took a shower. You had to leave the bathroom door open to ventilate the room (no fan), so every time someone moved past the door or a breeze from the balcony blew, the curtain clung to you. Annoying, but not life ending. The TV in the room was TINY and straight from 1990, but the programming was good. Location wise, it was great. You definitely want to be aft on this ship, as that's where EVERYTHING is. We were woken up a few times at 3-4am by them moving furniture around above us, but that was it. The convenience of being so close to food and entertainment outweighed the noise. I think the ideal location would have been exactly where we were, but on the 9th floor instead.  Read entire member review.

Bathroom leaks, bathroom doors show enough damage from water that this has been a problem for some time. Otherwise excellent cabin, quiet and convenient to aft staircase.  Read entire member review.

Only one closet, small room, old TV (not flat), great balcony (except it seemed a bit dirty with rust), noise from the deck above (chairs and tables moving around), every morning at 6:30, the side thrusters would shake and rattle our room, very noisy.  Read entire member review.

Small bathroom, comfortable two twin beds with a large sofa-bed, good size balcony, small fridge, safe, coffee maker, and an ice bucket.  Read entire member review.

Loved having a balcony. Makes the trip special. Quiet. Our door stuck - hard to open and close. One night we woke to it being unlatched because we didn't slam it hard enough when we shut it. The convertible sofa bed was not secure - so if we sat on it and leaned back the seat started sliding out from under us. Closet and drawer space is quite adequate. Bathroom and shower is common to most ships we have been on - to be expected and adequate.  Read entire member review.

Cabin 0211. Balcony on Starboard side. Location suited us very well, its a few steps from the stairs which take you up to Fitness Suite and pool deck, and across from there is the buffet. also close to the Atrium lifts and on a quiet corridor. Plenty spacious for the 3 of us with tons of storage. Tip: bring a 4 way adaptor, power thingy and some clothes peg to pin your clothes onto chairs on balcony to help things dry off. Another great tip I learnt from a cruise forum is to bring Wrinkle Decrease for your evening shirts - fab product!  Read entire member review.

We had the perfect cabin. We had ample space, even with a Pack-N-Play set up in our room. The closet was big. We had storage for all of our clothes and gear and didn't have things sitting everywhere! We were mid-ship and close the the elevators. It was awesome!  Read entire member review.

Never Again by Danlee7
This cabin was quite nice. I think the cabin below on 9th deck would have been quieter but this was still a nice cabin.  Read entire member review.

We could occasionally hear chairs being moved about on the pool deck above us but it was never loud enough to bother us. Our room was close the the glass elevators in the Atrium and they were hardly ever full and getting one was always easy. For eating, however, it was a good walk aft to get one of the elevators down to the main dining rooms (the middle main dining room you could reach easily from the glass elevators, but we usually ate at the aft main dining room).  Read entire member review.

Cabin 0231 on BA deck was noisy in the morning as it was underneath the pool deck where they pull deck chairs around.  We heard scaping sounds starting at 6:00 am every morning.   Read entire member review.

Great Cruise by RNretired
Cabin 0245, Enrico was pleasant and accommodating. Lots of closet space and hangers. Wonderful view from the balcony and a quiet location. The coffee pot made a big difference and should be in every state room on every line. Bed linens were comfortable and we slept well. There should be a second nightstand which we missed and a slight larger table in front of the sofa. The balcony chairs were good but one that would lie back like a lounge chair would also be a real plus. TV was good with a great variety of movies and TV shows. A weather channel would have been nice. Adequate room, clean and well appointed. Very satisfied with this cabin.  Read entire member review.

1064 Near bridge (starboard forward) - nice balcony. Bathroom storage limited (bring shoe bag for door). Light in closet! Excellent!  Read entire member review.
8032
Cabin 8032. Only issue we had was the condensate drain pan for the AC overflowing, leading to a wet carpet between the bathroom and the bed. It led to a pretty musty cabin. The maintenance staff was quick to correct the situation and clean our room, leaving it better than before. Everything else was good and it was very close to the elevators but still quiet.  Read entire member review.
8063
Cabin was quite adequate for one person with too much storage space for one person. Drawback was that bed was too big for the room. I did not notice any noise but I live across from a hospital with a helopad so that probably has something to do with it. There is a line in the shower for drying clothes which came in handy when I was drying my underwear and socks at night.  Read entire member review.

R&R on the Sun by cusoon
Great balcony, plenty of storage.  Read entire member review.

The cabin with a balcony although not really large was adequate. The balcony did have a lot of peeling paint on the walls by the door. The bathroom was a tad small, and we had a problem with the toilet splashing out the last night when the seas were heavy. The room was clean and the steward was around several times during the day to do a basic freshen up, but nothing out of the ordinary.  Read entire member review.

We loved 9044, a midship balcony. Lots of room for storage, extra space and the sofa was nice. We loved having a balcony.  Read entire member review.
9237
Our cabin was more than adequate. Sufficient storage. Bathrooms older style on this ship and could use an update. Balcony was good and it was a quiet location convenient to both fore and aft of ship. We were starboard and faced the piers when docked on this cruise. Would have preferred port side. Overall this cabin worked for us.  Read entire member review.
9255
Balcony room 9255. We needed another bathrobe, and the remote did not work when we arrived. I left a note for the steward and it was taken care of right away. There is plenty of storage, both closets and in the bathroom. I am not a fan of the glass doors, I prefer the sliding doors. The last night the wind whistled all night through the doors because of the high winds.  Read entire member review.

Stayed in BA Midships Balcony Need King Beds- Don't know how though Bigger Showers WITHOUT Curtains Need to sound insulate balcony floors, so chair legs don't scrape LOUDLY at all hours Bigger TV's with more English entertainment channels- Most were news StateRoom had LOTS of Storage Need New Balcony Curtains that go all the way to floor, because Baltic White Nights Shine Under Curtain Need a Night Light in Bathroom  Read entire member review.

Sensational Sun! by Whippets
Good cabin, close to elevators. Little noise on a sailing that had less than 25 people under 18 years of age. Clean and well appointed. We had more drawer space than we could use.  Read entire member review.
None
Our cabin and staff were the best part of the cruise, new robes are a good fit. We always like deck 10 in a BA balcony find it is very quiet. Flat TV screen to read the ships maps would be great, with a busy lifestyle it was always good to relax in our well kept cabin. Don't forget to bring back the chocolates the ladies love them!  Read entire member review.

Splendid by Spookytooth
The Veranda was well worth the ticket price. Cabin Stewart always came through for us and extra pillows were provided.  Read entire member review.
