Lots of stuff to share from a newbies perspective - hope you find this useful. We didn't have any reference so we went into this vacation during Christmas break with various expectations. Our background - white upper middle class living in CT in nice suburbs. 3 boys, ages 13 16 21 and 1 girlfriend (age 20). Enjoy healthy eating/lifestyle/regular gym goers.

ROOMS/BATHROOMS (9.5 out of 10)

We had adjoining staterooms with balconies. We expected sardine cans. Pleasantly surprised. The layout was awesome - lots of shelves and plenty of closet space. Bathroom was separated into 3 sections - toilet, sink and shower - so if you had to, 2-3 people could use the bathroom area. No plug, except for razor in the bathoom, however there was a vanity area that had a plug and nice blow dryer. I usually use professional quality blow dryers and was happy with the quality of the dryer they supplied. The beds were very comfortable and the linens awesome! The fold out bed could sleep 2 and according to the kids, weren't all the comfortable - but ok. The balcony was good size and had 2 chairs and table - we moved another end table out there for more room. Easily fit 4-5 people of balcony.
