This cabin was almost perfect for us as we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Being on Deck 6, you are just one deck above the Royal Promenade. This is perfect for the parades and parties as it makes it very easy to take the stairs. Or, you can simply walk out to the open area on Deck 6 and watch from there.
This stateroom is located at the very front of the ship, which means it is far enough away from all the action that you didn't hear any noise from the parties going on all over the ship. In this are, just below is the top of the theater. We learned from our back stage tour that the back drops are recessed into the ceiling three decks above the stage, which is on deck 3. There is no noise coming from below at all. There are staterooms above this room on Deck 7. This room is the last inside room at the end of the hallway. Being in the very front of the ship, there was little foot traffic to speak of and it meant that we only shared one wall with another stateroom. We had a hallway to the left, in front and behind our room. In all, it was very quiet.
The room is very standard with the torpedo tube shower and small bathroom. There are shelves in the bathroom to the right of the mirror behind a mirrored door. These are just large enough for toiletries and electric razors. There is also a plug especially for electric razors in the ceiling to the left of the mirror.
The closet has ample space for our 7 day cruise for two, with two formal nights. We also had a safe that was large enough for an i-Pad, camera lenses, a Kindle and a variety of other smaller items. I even put my digital SLR in there with everything else a couple of times. The close had extra pull down rods to be used like a closet organizer with shirts on the top and pants on the bottom with long dresses to the left. There were also shelves to the far left above and below the safe that were large enough to store carry on bags such as backpacks and camera bags.
The counter/desk area in the stateroom is small with three drawers on either side. The mirror here is lighted and this area serves as a makeup area with a blow-dryer in pull out drawer to the right. There are doors that open to the right and left of the mirror to reveal shelves for storing small items such as pill bottles or sunscreen. This is also where the flat-screen TV is located on an articulating arm. Above that is a small shelf to keep things like sunglasses and the like out of the way so they don't clutter the desk area. Below the TV is the minibar which keeps things just a few degrees cooler than the stateroom temperature.
The bed was high enough for us to store our luggage underneath the bed, leaving room in the closet for shoes, clothes and other items. Very large luggage won't fit here though. We put two roll-away suitcases and one roll-away garment bag under the bed.
There is little room to move around the beds when configured as a single queen. the small couch is nice as is the small coffee table, but combined with the chair at the desk, there is very little floor space. There is a light switch near the bed that turns off the lights in the room and a lamp on either wall that includes both a reading light and a standard bedside lamp. Very handy! There is a small nightstand that includes a lip around the edge so that small change or other items don't roll-off and get lost under the bed. The nightstand includes a small drawer as well.
Did I say small too many times? I really can't. This room is small, but it was perfect for us. We don't spend much time in the room and don't care much for a balcony when all you have to look at is open ocean. Nice little place. We'd stay there again!
