Cabin Review

Cabin: I received an upgrade/upsell call a few weeks before the cruise to move from an inside cabin on the Riviera deck (deck 1) to a balcony cabin on deck 6, mid-ship. So for a couple of hundred more, I grabbed it. The cabin was roomy and it was great to go out on the balcony with my coffee in the morning. The cabin steward was in the hallway and he quickly came over to introduce himself. Randy was from Nicaragua and was just the most attentive cabin steward. While my friend was speaking to him, I looked under the bed to see if my body bag suitcase would fit. There were 2 huge comforters taking up the space and he promptly removed them. He said it made no sense to store them there because the passengers needed a place to stow the luggage but he had to follow directives. I don’t know where he took them to but they were gone from the cabin. There was only one closet to hang dresses from but my friend and I were able to use just the one because I removed the robes and stored them in one of the drawers under the couch. I used the other drawer for my stuff and my friend used the drawers in the second closet area. The third closet space we both used to hang tops and capris. Storage was not a problem. We also relocated the phone to the first shelf in the vanity area so the ice bucket tray was under the phone. In other words, my friend and I rearranged a few things to suit us. We were both pleased that there were 2 USB ports to recharge the cameras, etc.
