Rooms: Once onboard we found out that some of our rooms were not ready yet. Once they were though, the rooms were very clean, spacious, brightly colored and more than ample his and hers closet space. There also were mini-bars in each cabin as well as spacious bathrooms with little amenities such as razors and toothpaste, etc.,.
