Additional details
Departed Cape Canaveral, FL on FOS January 27, 2013, Eastern Caribbean, 7 day cruise. We stayed at the Country Inn and Suites, Cocoa Beach, park and cruise package and room was great. We had a one bedroom suite (4 adults) has 2 queen beds and pull out sofa, and it came with breakfast. We could see the port and our ship from our room. We were in their Celebration room ready for transport to the ship at 10:00am Sunday and were to the ship by 10:30ish. Did not take long at all to board, very quick and very smooth. We headed for the Promenade deck for lunch, since we had heard how crowded the Windjammer could be. Ran into roll call members, what a coincidence! We sat and had sandwiches and treats there until our room was ready at 1:00.
We had a promenade room and parents had a balcony room on the 6th floor, mid-ship. Both were very nice and spacious. We were concerned we might have too much promenade noise once I realized our floor was only one floor above the promenade, but there was very little noise. The night of the 70's party was the only night it was loud and it was over by 11:30pm, so no worries! The promenade room has a 2 seater couch, glass table and a window seat to view the promenade from your room. There is also a vanity area with chair. Lighting in the room was excellent!! Plenty of storage in every place possible. There were 2 outlets at the vanity area. Full length mirror in room. We also never heard any noise from the room next door. We had a crew closet on one side, ice machine, etc. in there, so only had another cabin on one side. We did not have a connecting door. It was always quiet. Occasionally heard cabin attendants in the halls later in the morning, but nothing disturbing.
Bathroom was adequate for us, good size and a round shower with sliding doors. It was a tight fit, not sure how a large person does in there, but was fine for us. The shower head moves up and down the rod and will also come off for hand held showering. There was shampoo and bar soap provided, but we did not use it. Water pressure was great as was hot water. Good counter space and storage behind the glass door to the left of the mirror. Also shelf space underneath.

Very little noise, despite promenade one floor beneath. No noise from cabin next door. Good size room, good space. Crew room on one side of room the room, so is only another cabin on one side. No connecting door. About half way between aft and forward elevators/stairs.
