Cabin: Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony

We usually always go with r.c and have sailed on this ship before and enjoyed it, however R.C has never allowed this many children on board before and I think it is a downward trend. A lot of kids were running round the ship alone without supervision. If RC want this many children on board they need to have staff that pro actively stop bad behaviour. They have a curfew of 1 am for kids, really get serious should be 10 pm and they should be in bed. It did make the ship a lot more noisy in all the public areas.

Despite this we enjoyed our days at sea and in ports as well.

Villa is the cheapest place to buy duty free, no where have i ever seen it cheaper.. Really worth the shop the best duty free is pretty big and right at the bottom of town on the main road just keep walking from the drop off point and you will see it.

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony

Cabin VB

Good room plenty of storage, mostly quiet on the 10th floor. Our steward went out of his way to make sure the bed was comfortable for me as i have joint problems. so with extra toppers on it was softer for me to lay. I was gratefull. Enjoyed the virtual balcony it made it feel like you had a balcony. Would book again. We usually have a balcony so it was a comparison to see if we could tolerate being inside..
