Additional details
My cruising history. My first was in 1994 on Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas for a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise. My second cruise was on Celebrity's Zenith for a 7 day Bermuda cruise in 2005. My third cruise was a return to Bermuda in 2007 on board Royal Caribbean's Empress of the Seas. The following year, 2008, I cruised from Port Canaveral, Florida to the Eastern Caribbean on board Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas. My fifth and most recent cruise was Aug. 2nd to Aug 11th, 2012 on board Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas. Our ports of call were Kings Wharf, Bermuda, Philipsburg, St. Maartin, San Jaun, Puerto Rico, and Labadee, Haiti.
A little about me.
I don't consider myself to be a very demanding cruiser. I'm not into gourmet food and fine wine, I'm fairly patient, and I'm also a semi-professional musician.
Cabin Review
Oceanview Stateroom
Cabin 2644 is a quad cabin. My wife, two daughters (16 and 12), and I managed to fit everything we brought with us in the cabin. We found that bringing extra hangers for the closet and a shoe rack for the inside of the bathroom door helps to fit everything. Instead of storing my Izod type shirts in a drawer, I hung them on hangers which saved drawer space. My advise to those in our situation is to hang as many things as possible. We ended up with one and one-half shelves each in the closet and one and one-half drawers in the desk for other clothes that couldn't be hung. We stored all the suitcases under the beds and used them to hold dirty clothes. We decided to separate the twin beds and put them against the walls under the upper pull down beds.
