Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room was not ready for guests as we were moved since someone was already occupying our assigned cabin. We were a bit off since we did not actually get a cabin until 4:30 after two long waits in line a guest services. Our keys did not work, cabin steward did not try to get help, just sent us to wait again at guest services. Electronic lock was not working. Safe was faulty which meant we had to stay in room until they could replace. AC sporadic. Hot water disappeared on Wed, again Cabin steward could do nothing, we had to do it to get it fixed. Lights not all working, again cabin steward told us to call to get it fixed. We did get an upgrade from original cabin due to it being occupied.
