Sail Date: Oct 2015
Cabin: Mid-Ship Inside Stateroom
Traveled with children

I went with 3 adults and a toddler. Our inside stateroom (#11633) was very clean and perfectly adequate (plenty of closet space, good water pressure in a reasonably-sized shower, very comfortable twin beds, etc). However, the folks who had the inside found it difficult to get around their queen bed to get to their closet, so they pretty much lived out of their suitcases.

This was my first cruise and for the most part, I was pleased with the service I received onboard the ship. However, I did notice that people who the servers identified as non-tippers, received slower service. I tipped well and the servers made a point of remembering my name and serving me promptly. But please note that there is an automatic $13.50 daily service charge added to your account, which many feel should cover any tipping. So, I just let my conscience be my guide because I know that ALL waitstaff around the world, largely make their money from tips.

Mid-Ship Inside Stateroom

Cabin IE

No complaints about the room. Everything was as expected. We didn't "click" with our steward and pretty much steered clear of him, but we don't wish to lodge a complaint or anything...some people just don't get on well. However, we got on terrifically with all other crew members and performers. Que sera, sera.
