This was our 1st cruise. We dd some research before the cruise and talked to friends who have taken many cruises.Sorry this is rather a long review.
The balcony cabin was not as small as I had feared, except for (of course) the shower. What surprised me was the incredibly hot water form the tap and the shower-best to just turn on the shower to the point where you have an okay stream to avoid getting scalded.
Best tip:The blow dryer in the room was either chosen by a vengeful bald person or designed by Mattel. Bring your own so that you don't spend ages frying your hair with barely any air flow.
Bad musty smell of old newspapers, farts and stale smoke permeated the air and we had to soak/wash every thing asap when we got home.
The decor seems like 80's Vegas, but at least they had lots of storage available and the balcony had a great view.
No directions posted, very confusing to a 1st time cruiser, then the FTF line was extra long.
