One wardrobe is a reasonable size, the other is too small, so there wasn’t really enough hanging space for a couple on a 14 day cruise (3 guesses which 1 of us scored the narrow wardrobe). There was plenty of cupboard / drawer space. No shampoo was provided, just soap and a combined shower gel / shampoo, which I thought was a bit penny-pinching. The bed was large and comfortable
