Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was comfortable the only negative was a ruin smell in the bathroom that didn’t go away even after being clean from the beginning of the trip. On the upside, I slept like a baby on my bed.

Ship tip

If you have motion sickness buy the bracelets they really do work. Also make dinner reservations ahead of time so you don’t have to wait in line.

The excursion was canceled and the stores there didn’t have much to offer. The food too pricey for the taste.

I’ve used the brand SeaBands. You can get them on Amazon or from Target. Also Bonine is a great over the counter medicine that will not make you sleepy. We take it every day on the cruise as a preventative.
