Sail Date: Jan 2015
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom
Traveled with children

We are a family of four (two children ages 10 and 12) from Montreal, Canada, who are veteran cruisers, this being our 17th sailing on various cruise lines and ships. We drove to the ship. Parking (outside, right next to the ship) was $400 for the 12 days. We rate this cruise just okay, far from spectacular in our opinion. The price was low, so we can’t complain, right? But we CAN thoroughly review it from our perspective…. apologies for the length.

POSITIVES:

- Room steward was excellent.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BB

We had a standard balcony cabin #8780. Excellent location, right next to the elevators, minimal noise from bathrooms located nearby. Plenty of room for 4 people, balcony was small but certainly useable. Beds were all a decent size. Shower was an ok size, shower head being too low for tall people, and plenty of hot water on demand. TV remote was sometimes defective. Room steward was advised but was unable to fix it. Toilet flushed when it felt like it all cruise long. They could not fix this issue as well. Patience was necessary with this device. Refrigerator worked well, as did the hair dryer. Room steward was prompt and excellent (as they have been on all our cruises). Air conditioning shut off often by itself for no apparent reason. (FYI: If you open the balcony door AC shuts off automatically) Also, if you remove your key card from the slot next to the door, the cabin lights will go off, AS WELL AS the electrical outlets. Devices left to charge will not charge. We folded a piece of paper and kept it in the slot, thus solving this problem. The lights to indicate room status are a great idea.
