This was a first cruise for my family.We were a family of four.two adults and two teenagers in one balcony room(booked the room with the bigger balcony on the hump,had 2 extra chairs brought up so we had four).One single bed folded into the ceiling(was brought out at night and put back up during the day)The couch turned into a single bed as well(made up at night and put back as couch for the day)I was worried about spending 11 days in close quarters but it worked out fine.We had room and I had watched YouTube videos before we left on what to do for extra storage ideas(all great ideas).My next cruise will be two rooms only because of my husbands snoring.

We ate in the main dining room and loved the food every night,saw no need in spending money(for 4 people)for the other restaurants.

Did room service breakfast one morning (the morning coming into Istanbul)and had it on the balcony watching the sights.Ordered the breakfast on the tv the night before,everything was great. Read more
