Cabin: Interior
We booked late so had to take to only accessible cabin, but I kept checking and we managed to snag E716 Aft Inside Cabin which is HUGE. Enjoyed the space but missed the balcony.
Downside of cabin location was with me being in a wheelchair we had to go down to Deck 7 Promenade to go anywhere forward, or up to 14. Also aft elevators are confusing as the two outside lifts went down to 5 and up to 17 and the inside down to 7 and up to 14. Some people never got that!
Embarkation at Melbourne is a shambles and it you take a Taxi allow for double the cost as we spent over half an hour waiting in the queue to unload. Ridiculous, they should not allow private vehicles on the wharf and make some other arrangement for the drop off of luggage.
Cabin Review
Interior
Cabin IE
HUGE Accessible Cabin - 310 sqft, could have originally been designed to be an interior suite.
Well laid out. Separate seating area with 2 tub chairs sides tables/cabinet and drinks table, refrigerator (Cooler) 2nd TV, with counter on the side which had a sink!
Bedroom area had double bed (can be twin) two huge 3 drawer cabinets and a 6 drawer cabinet with TV above.
Desk on the left as you entered room with more drawers and four wardrobes in front.
Large walk-in shower. No issues with water travelling anywhere, but then we did not have any rough weather when showering! Pull down seat small, but we took a shower commode on wheels.
Above Vista Lounge, but we did not hear any sound from there at all (not even New Years Eve where there was a Rock and Roll Party on).
Only negative is when arriving and leaving port you do get the noise and shudder from the thrusters, but certainly not a deal breaker.
We did miss having a balcony however.
