This was my husband's first cruise, my second (I'd previously cruised on Carnival). We were on the 9th level deck in Concierge Class.

Pros: Our room was very nice, with a small balcony, loveseat/coffee table, desk/chair. It was clean. The cabin attendant, Joaquim (sp?), was wonderful as was the cleaning person. Joaquim gave us good personal attention on a day when I was ill and had to spend most of the day in our cabin (brought us dinner, tea, etc.) We left him an extra tip beyond the required amount. The cabin was a good value for the price and pretty quiet too. My husband also liked the size and style of it.

Cons: On the ship, in some areas of the cabin hallway and stairs there was the distinct smell of mildew. It was pretty bad. I have asthma and this worried me. I wondered what I would have done if it was in my cabin. By the last day, we could smell this same smell in a corner of our cabin where there was a connecting door to another cabin. By that time I was in the full throes of a cold caught onboard, which turned into bronchitis. Read more
