Sail Date: Dec 2013

Background:

I'm 28 years old. I sailed on the 12/8/2013 to 12/15 cruise out of NYC to the Bahamas. I was cruising solo and this was my first cruise. My goals going in were adventure, relaxation, and meeting new people around my age.

Type of cabin:

Cabin Review

The Cabin:I chose the ship partly because of the studio cabins, which let me save money and gave me the hope that I would bump into other solo cruisers. There are about 60 studio cabins, all of which are in a separate area behind a key-carded door... so there wasn't as much traffic as other parts of the ship, which was nice if you wanted quiet around your room. I did notice the cabin wasn't totally sound proof, as I could hear mumbled conversations in the morning - that being said, I am a light sleeper and these never bothered me. The only thing that slightly bothered me was the cruise announcements can still be slightly heard from the hallway speakers, but they first one was usually around 10AM.The cabin itself was nice and clean... modern looking. It's on the small side but that didn't really bother me. The important thing for me was a good size bed that was comfortable, which I had. The one comment is that the bathroom is a bit small, and that the sink is not in the bathroom which is a bit odd. They included a hairdryer, shampoo and body wash. There is plenty of room to store clothes.I kept the window which looks onto the corridor closed (with the blinds) most of the time. It's heavily frosted so you can't really see anything anyway... it just lets some light in.
