Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

The ship is scheduled for dry dock soon so we knew she would be worn and tired. We were happy with her overall appearance.

The cabin again was worn and tired but worked for us. One of the drawers was very difficult to open but nothing we couldn't live with for a week. There was an odor similar to sewer gases in the bathroom all week. For some reason maintenance came mid-cruise and replaced the shower door track. After that, the shower doors didn't close all the way causing water to leak onto the floor during showers. The balcony in this cabin is great as it is on the center of the hump. The foot of the bed was curved making the outside edges too short and our feet hung off unless we both slept in the middle was kinda hard to do.

If you like to eat late at night you are in trouble on this ship unless you want to pay for room service. Late night snack venues close at midnight. That being said, the late night snack venues didn't have much to choose from and the bread offerings for sandwiches was harder than hard. Never did find a source for popcorn or nuts of any kind. I would think there would have been popcorn at the cinema.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E3

The best lowest level balcony you can get. The balconies that are not on the hump don't have a straight down view of the water. The straight down view is of the life boat covers. 7602 is a center hump cabin making the balcony full sized where as the cabins on the side of the hump have smaller odd shaped balconies.
