"...Bright sun, warm still air, the brilliant blue green of the Caribbean under the lapis lazuli dome of the sky..." (quote from "Shipping Out," by David Foster Wallace)

Although this cruise was to the Bahamas, David Wallace penned it accurately - lapis lazuli is a brilliant blue gemstone also known as "the stone of heaven," because its color so closely represents the azure blue sky. Except for the occasional passing thundershower, this entire cruise was under the brilliant azure blue skies that dominate the Bahamas & Caribbean regions. Ahh...nothing like pure blue sky to contribute to that overall wonderful cruise experience!

Cabin Review

Oceanview Porthole Window

Cabin OG

Cabin 8215 is a great location if you like quiet. It is definitely in a lower traffic area of the ship, starboard side forward. It is however, a bit of a hike to the aft areas of the ship where the restaurants, buffets, etc. are located. Only a short distance however, to the central atrium area, guest services, shore excursions, and shops. This cabin was satisfactory in all respects, although we did note a distinct lack of storage area for clothes. There was a large area for hanging clothes, but only minimal drawer or shelf storage. We ended up using the open shelves under the nightstand to store some of our clothing. Bathroom was as expected for a cruise cabin, no complaints there. The room does have a safe, operated by digital code which was a nice feature. I would think that anyone would be comfortable in this cabin.
