Cabin / Stateroom

Room was always clean. We always look forward to coming back to the room to see the different towel animals but the steward used the same animal numerous times a little disappointed with that

When there are so many people using the elevators, you could take the stairs if you want it's up to you but would I do, I get in the elevator and go wherever they're going and then I'll go back down to where I am going to go. I do try to walk the stairs as much as I can. Speaking of the same itinerary it depends on where the ship goes and I've done the same itinerary at times as well.
