Sail Date: Jul 2012
Cabin: Junior Suite

Embarkation was somewhat disorganised, Baoshan is a new terminal so still has some teething problems. The terminal staff, while pleasant,didn't seem to know what was happening.

This was our first cruise in a Junior Suite so I was quite excited but disappointed to find out that there was no priority wait or boarding area for suite guests. When questioned the staff had no idea what I was talking about. The terminal is very large and clean however quite hot as there was no air conditioning only fans. Once through security the whole process improved dramatically and upon entering the ship there we were met by staff to direct and answer questions.

First impression of the ship was that even though over 10 years old she is still impressive. We headed straight up to the Windgammer for lunch which while not gourmet was certainly adequate. The Island Grill area was pleasant and we ended up eating most breakfasts there due to the view from the tables by the windows.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

Junior Suite 1350.

I loved this cabin, our first time in a Junior Suite and really enjoyed the extra space. While I agree with others that the decor is a little dated the cabin was clean and comfortable. There is a 3 seater lounge, 2 chairs, a flat screen TV and a very large,comfortable bed in the room.The tea and coffee making facilities were an added bonus as was the toiletries provided. The bathroom while not spacious was more than adequate and the walk in closet fantastic as we were able to store not only our clothes but large suitcases as well.

1350 is a connecting cabin and contrary to what others have reported we did not hear a peep from the adjoining cabin. It was so quiet I had actually thought it was empty until I saw the inhabitants, a couple and 2 young boys, on the balcony of the 5th day.

The balcony held 2 chairs and a lounger and while the floor was quite chipped and stained this did not affect our enjoyment of it.

I would not hesitate to book this particular cabin again
