We thoroughly enjoyed our balcony stateroom - there is nothing like being able to wake up and enjoy spectacular views while still in your pajamas...or taking in that fresh breath of ocean air right before you drop off to sleep at night! The stateroom was lovely, although the bathroom was much tinier than others we've had in past. Everything you need is there and lovely, but a bit cramped in the toilet and shower stalls. The other big issue we had was with the bedding! The bottom sheet was not fitted, so we continually were waking up finding ourselves on the bare mattress and having to remake the bed (sometimes several times a night!) This sounds minor, but was really disruptive to our sleep over the course of a week. Also, we did get cigarette smoke from the cabin next door through the vent in the closet and from the balcony, which was horrible. We tried to cover up the vent which helped somewhat.

Overall, we loved the balcony cabin and were quite comfortable there for the week.

This ship is lovely and seems kept in pristine shape. The staff are lovely and helpful and the entertainment was very high quality. We loved the flexible style. Read more
