Cabin / Stateroom

Clean, new, and nice balcony room. First time with a 3rd person and we did ok

Ship tip

We didn’t have issues with lines or doing anything we wanted to. My only tip is most people do not understand the elevators (have to pick the floor for each member of your party) so it got frustrating.

The elevators are a great idea but they need to put signs up as people don’t use them correctly.

Great to hear we cruise in April on it. I think the elevators are great but others think they are horrible.
