Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We booked this inside cabin just for this short cruise. Was too small for the 3 of us. No fold bunk or couch to convert to a bed. Just a roll away bed, which took up too much floor space. Wouldn't do this again.

No excursions. Walked around for a while. Stopped by Pueblo Antiguo to have a shot with our waiter Amigo, Urial. He's always fun and takes good care of us.
