Cabin Review

we booked 2 cabins: V34 on the Verandah deck & R135 on the Riviera deck. The Junior Suite (V34) was listed as an obstructed view but as we had read online and mentioned by our travel agent, that this particular cabin was not completely obstructed. Both previous online posts and our travel agent were correct. The forward view from the cabin was completely unobstructed. The aft view was obstructed but we had a nice enough view... The cabin was clean and fairly spacious. The cabin Steward Paquito, was great. We had room service several times with no complaints. The sheets were comfortable and the bed was sufficiently firm. The couch was nice for our children to sit when they came to visit. I would prefer that the ship did not stock the refrigerator with expensive in-room drinks but I know why they do. We simply took them out and set them beside the refrigerator for the length of the cruise. There was plenty of room for us to hang up our clothes and put them in drawers. There were plenty enough hangers for our clothes and I feel that had we needed more we could have easily gotten more. At the beginning of the cruise my wife asked for 4 pillows and we received them cheerfully. She loves pillows... The balcony is small, but it did have 2 chairs and a small table from which you can sit and have breakfast or a bottle of wine. The windows were large and would let a lot of light in when wanted. The drapes were thick enough to prevent unwanted light in, if you wanted to sleep in... The shower was big enough. As expected, it can be quite tight when 2 people are trying to get ready at the same time. It is probably best to hang out on the balcony, drink a glass of wine, while your spouse is getting ready. The carpeting was in good shape. The furniture was all in good working order. I would have liked it a little cooler in the room, but then again, I always like it cooler... My wife said it was sufficiently cool. All in all the Junior Suite was a good choice for us.R135: Our daughters stayed in R135. A small inside cabin stateroom; enough for 2 twin beds, shower and limited closet space. No complaints really. The cabin was actually in a good location for someone who gets easily sea-sick as it was mid-ship on the lowest level, so as little sea motion as would be possible on-board. The room was dated, but clean. There was no refrigerator in the stateroom. The girls had no complaints with the room, it was clean and everything functioned. Their cabin steward was polite and happy.
