Cabin Review

Like –

-Open balcony with rail;

-Bathroom mirror opens to view the ocean (NOTE: This mirror slides open at night in rough seas)

Dislike –

-couch very hard;

-safe is 2/3 size of previous ship’s safes;

-smaller refrigerator;

-Balcony chairs comfortable but have short backs and no chase lounges making it impossible to put our head back and legs up for a snooze on the balcony (NOTE: we spoke to another couple who has a Sky Suite. They requested a lounge chair and the cabin attendant exchanged the chairs for lounges);

-Bathroom has a tub and mostly senior passengers who have problems just sitting and standing up so why make them step over a tub to get in the shower;

-No place to hang a towel near the shower – we had to put the towel on the floor outside the tub;

-soap dish in shower is under the showerhead, immediately fills with water so no soap bar can be left in this dish; in any case they did not provide soap bars in the shower.

-Didn’t like the Body Wash, Shampoo or Conditioner. They are now in 2 pint containers with a locked pump top – had to play with the pump ever day to get it to work – finally just unscrewed the pump top in order to use it – wasted a lot of shower water while we putzed around getting the pump to work – NOTE we liked the BVLGARI brand we had on previous cruises was a much better product.

-garbage can in bathroom is under the sink/cabinet drawer – need to bend over nearly touching the floor to dispose of tissues (not good for seniors with a bad back);

-We miss the daily hard copy newspaper;

-No more flowers in the room (not sure how that helps the environment);
