Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was clean and spacious. Only issue was availability of power plugs. Bring European converters. Ship does not have available. Refrigerator only cools items does not make them cold.

Ship tip

Bring power converters to 110vac. Confirm what is included with room, such as private dining rooms, what is included in the bar.

If items are purchased over a pre-determined value, the pull you out of the disembarkation line to walk individuals through customs. It took longer to get through customs with this process.
