Cabin Review

I think that I have completely covered this in my ship report.However here is the section on our cabin 6172

There is plenty of space -- we never felt crowded or were aware that there were over 2,800 passengers on board.

Cabin -- door opens OUT into a recess in the corridor!

Overall facilities -- double or twin beds, very small bedside table with two narrow shelves under.- thin chocolate on pillow at night with turn down service

Plenty of room for cases under bed. Above bed storage for bed cushions, extra doona, blanket

Life jackets under bed in a basket

Bible in the top drawer

Lounge -- seats up to 4, small oval table

TV -- flat screen -- can swivel. Interactive with keyboard to book excursions etc.

Safe -- in wardrobe, easy to use and larger than on most ships

Frig -- mini bar -- some heat transfer to side drawers

Next to mini bar frig - Two shallow top drawers (do not store medicines or first aid kit in these as they get quite warm); three deeper drawers below,

Cupboard above frig = in size to two shallow drawers

Marble top "desk" with chair. Drawer under holds interactive keyboard and hair dryer

Powerpoints -- 2 X US flat 2 pin (110), 1 X Europe/Asia round 2 pin (220)

Mirror with light above.

Storage

Wardrobe -- two door -- standard is for 24 hangers -- we had 4 with trouser clips.

Drop down bracket if needed for hanging shirts, tops

Three shelves -- two below safe, one above

Two bathrobes, one umbrella, one Celebrity bag (re-cycled material similar to those used for shopping)

Bathroom

Shower is excellent -- good amount of room with glass sliding doors, not a shower curtain

Foot rest in shower

Large mirror with power point above -- takes both flat and round 2 pin plugs (110/220)

Bath towel, hand towel, washer and bath mat

Double towel rail

Moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner, real soap (not bath gel), tissues, shower cap, cotton balls and cotton buds

Hair dryer -- in desk drawer

No clothes line, however ample room to attach elastic extendable line from hooks in shower over glass screen to towel rail.

Basin -- small if you are doing your washing!

Storage -- 2 tiny drawers (6" X 5") -- probably of little use

Side cabinet with glass door 4 shelves (not very wide but deep enough for a wash bag or makeup bag, wooden cabinet below with three shelves

Dim light in bathroom stays on at night

Balcony

Good size and depth. Two comfortable mesh chairs, round wooden top table, high privacy screens between staterooms, high glass panels.
