Costa Mediterranea Transatlantic Sailing, Inside cabin, 5th deck

The cabin is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Drawer pulls and closet pulls are small leather loops, hard to use. Nice , large shower, good water pressure and temperature. Good shelf storage in bathroom. Magnifier mirror in bathroom is nice. Clothes dryer cord in shower. Door key is a plastic card with a magnetic strip, like a credit card, it is easy to use. Safe operated by credit card, cabin card, or other card with a magnetic strip. TV has a bigger screen than I was used to on other ships, most channels were in something other than English. Good shelf and hanger space. Good lighting, both bright and dim. Heating and air-conditioning worked very well. Bed and mattress were very comfortable, enough space under bed to put suitcases. Sound insulation between rooms was insufficient, or our neighbors were turning up their TV and singing particularly loud. Hairdryer didnt produce enough heat or volume of air, cord fixed in drawer not long enough. 120 and 220 volt outlets are available, bring a plug converter if you have dual voltage appliances and want for have more than two things plugged in at a time. Facial tissues were not soft but toilet tissues were. If you want, have the cabin steward remove the small table and chair from the room, this makes it a little easier to walk around. Nice art in room, ours had a nice limited edition print. Refrigerator- Ask for mini-bar items to be removed.

Gym -- Quality machines, only a few were not operating. Usually the gym was underutilized, occasionally it was over utilized and hard to get on some of the equipment. Steam room, sauna, and showers in the gym area were top notch. The gym was warm and humid, there is a big hot tub in the center of this multilevel gym. They could use a few fans.
