We chose this cruise based on the itinerary and that the Destiny will no longer be the Destiny after her refurbishment in February when she will then be renamed the Sunshine.

We chose the early saver option and chose cabin 2311, an aft interior stateroom. Having never stayed on the lower decks on any of our other cruises I really did not look at the location except for the fact it was close to the elevators and stairs since my wife has trouble walking.
