Additional details

Sail Date: Jul 2010

We were a unique group, I'm sure. My 90-year-old mom and her 75-year-old boyfriend (yes, she's a proud cougar), my sis, brother-in-law and myself (hovering around 60) and my 20-year-old son who is developmentally disabled.

We chose traditional dining, which was a great decision since we'd all head out to pursue our own cruising style but we always knew we'd reunite at dinner if we didn't run into eachother elsewhere.

My mom and her boyfriend had a room designed to acccomodate her scooter. It was really quite big and my BIL noted he'd ask for a handicapped room in the future. I reminded him that would be like parking in a handicapped zone and did he really want to be a jerk. My son and I shared an obstructed view room which was comfortable but I have to say I prefer both beds to be "hugging" the walls. In our case, one was rather "out there" and it felt a bit peculiar to be at risk of rolling out on EITHER side. The bathroom was nice, the shower roomy enough. The closet space was amazing! Actually more than enough there - perhaps the space could be better used by adding some drawer in the closet.

Cabin Review

Cabin E

We were told the Emerald deck was the worst for cabins because of the noise from the showroom and casino. We had three rooms on that floor and none of us had any complaints whatsoever about noise.

Comfy, clean, loads of storage.
