Compact bathroom, curved plexiglass shower door maximises room both in and out of the shower. Sufficient space in the cabin, great array of hanging space drawers, over bed cupboards and underbed luggage storage. It's location on the hump near the midships elevators, the cabin has an oversized balcony with two deck chairs, Ottomans and a small drinks table.

Con: recessed door makes for a narrow entrance to the cabin.
Pro: directly opposite entrance to port elevator entrance, but never experienced external noises in the cabin.

- most dishes are heavily salted

Lunch menu: only two unimaginative burger/sandwich inspired menus that alternate every two days

(ii) WindJammers

- insufficient seating

- bland, dried out food

- SLOW service for toast, eggs and omelettes ( 1 toaster and 2 omelette pans to service        >1000 guests at any one point in time) 

- 20 minute queue for omelettes, 10 min for toast

- Lunch options do NOT change across a 15 day itinerary.Those wanting to sit and enjoy your coffee, think again, pop-up shops outside of La Patisserie ensure that your ears will be assaulted by spruikers and jostled by pedestrians caught in the cattle race between you and shoppers.
