Cabin Review

Our cabin steward was adequate. Our cabin was clean with no problems. It just seemed like there was a lack of personal, one-on-one interaction with the steward like on other ships. Not once did we get a towel animal or anything unique like on other ships. Its a shame most lines today have gone to the 'mandatory tipping' model, where most ship staff feel like exceptional service will go unrewarded and they'll just be getting their split of the tip jar at the end of the cruise. My daughters had an adjoining balcony cabin on Rivera deck just behind the ship's bridge (we could see the captain and crew walking about the bridge from our balconies, pretty cool!) However, our cabins weren't connecting, but our room steward opened the door on the balcony which allowed us access to each cabin via the balcony. The cabins were laid out very well, with a very spacious closet area. The bed was everything advertised-very comfortable and plush.
