We took this trip to celebrate one son graduating from college, the other graduating from high school and our 25th wedding anniversary.
Having cruised before, we knew what to expect. The cabin was a little smaller than on other cruises, but comfortable and well designed with plenty of storage space. Per recommendations on Cruise Critic, we emptied and stored all the goodies in the 'fridge and put in our own to avoid the high prices.
Our cabin steward was unobtrusive and met all our needs. The first night, he made a towel animal and left it on the bed. My husband dressed it up in a comical way. The steward got the joke which started a "top this" creative contest with the animal towels! We looked forward to each day's new creation.
The best amenity in the shower: several small racks stacked in the corner of the shower. The lowest one at the perfect height for propping a foot for shaving legs!
Our cabins were located aft on level 10, which meant we were under the Little Italy restaurant. I was concerned when I found out it might be noisy, but except for a few late night short-lived cleaning noises, it was fine. Anyone on level 10 aft on the starboard side probably had lots of noise from the Aloha Cafe.
The port side was best for views in port and leaving port, except for Maui.
