Just finished a Back 2 Back cruise, starting with the 4 day over Thanksgiving and ending with the 3 day cruise right afterward. So this review may be a bit of both cruises, they were stuck together & I'm not going to write 2 reviews.
This is the first cruise I've booked in a 1A for over a decade, we did better than I had expected given the bunk bed set up, small cabin & lack of balcony. Holiday cruises so the prices were quite high is why I booked this sort of cabin. It worked out pretty well with time off I already had from work.
Embarkation was quick and smooth despite not being platinum, and not going for the Faster to the Fun surcharge. We were on the ship about an hour after getting to port for the first cruise, and they had a coupon system for reboarding on the B2B where we instructed to go to the platinum line - we were taken care of very well & reboarded the ship immediately after our outing to Long Beach to restock on bottled water & sundries.
Inadequate, virtually non-existent storage space in the bathroom. One tiny & very shallow shelf above the sink. No shelves below the sink. Pack a hanging bathroom organizer! We made full use of the clear shoe hanger, but that was hung on the cabin side of the bathroom door. Could have used a smaller one for inside the bathroom, definitely.
1 closet to hang clothes in, one with shelves for folded clothes, and there is the windowsill where the fake window is. It's handy for placing your alarm clock, etc. There is an additional closet less than a foot wide that you can stick a few coats/jackets in, or the bath robes. This cabin is ideal for 1 person, for 2 people on a back to back it's challenging for storage space.
