I see that you had a GTY (guaranteed) ocean view cabin. Which cabin number and deck did you get? Did you just have a small port hole OR did you get a large window? Thank you for your help! Diann

Great ship, not so good service and meals. Of course, service and meals are a lot of the reason I go on cruises.
