Additional details
Living in Florida, we have the wonderful advantage of taking a last minute cruise, from 4-5 different cruise terminals, without the headache ( or expense) of flying. Yippee !!!
We had been watching the HAL Panama Canal Cruise and when the price dropped this spring..we booked an outside cabin and we were upgraded to another outside.
The CREW was outstanding! They not only were especially friendly, saying hello and good morning and good evening at every turn.... they were always easy to find.
Cabin Review
Large Outside Stateroom (fully obstructed views)
Our cabin 1109 was an upgrade from a HH category. Think it was a GG category. I would have prefered the obstructed view on the 4th deck. There are huge full length windows and even though there is a tender in front of it, there is plenty of light and views on each side .
This cabin 1109 had a large square window, but it was set so far into the wall so you could only get up close to the glass if you climbed up on the bed and then leaned out over the wide 2' window sill. Also, you could not separate the beds ( which we planned to do) because the wall had an outcrop in it, so you couldn't push the beds apart against them.
They really are LARGE beds ( kings)that's what 2 twins equal= 1 king. So, it wasn't a problem for us as a couple. Maybe it would be for two roommates.It was at the aft end of the ship and very easy access to the dining rooms or the aft lido deck. long walk to the shows. Some engine noise. Tub and shower.good size couch and nice firm chair for the large vanity. Lighted mirror and blow dryer included. Mini fridge which we never even opened.!! Lots of storage in large drawers under bed ( some people miss these).
