Diamond Princess Balcony Stateroom BC

Very small but it served the purpose

Cabin was always maintained perfectly clean. Plenty of storage for clothing and luggage. Beddings was very comfortable. The mattresses were quite roomy (we had a queen) but a bit too soft. The pillows were excellent in comfort but I would have preferred a smaller size. Appreciated soaps but I brought my own so did not use the shampoo/conditioners. Shower head was adequate. On the downside, the shower was too cramped. That handle bar in the center should be removed or placed by the side, closer to the shower curtain. It took too much space and we were constantly slamming our elbows/shoulders or having to stand sideways, which made it difficult and having to readjust the shower handle so to avoid over splashing. Also, the shower curtain was way too short and water splashed out constantly, requiring additional towels to soak such runoff. Our room stewards was made aware and he did inform us everyone was encountering the same problem due to the old curtains being replaced by these new ones that were not long enough. I found the sizing of this room very similar to the regular rooms with the exception of a balcony. I would have preferred a mini suite now that I know. It was comfortable however. Wish the bathroom had regular sockets for curling iron/hair dryer.

CABIN ON THE SMALL SIZE TO SQUEEZE BETWEEN THE TWIN BEDS. TOWELS A FEW TIMES SMELL LIKE RANCIT OIL

Cabin was small but clean and well maintained, the bed was terrible too soft and small (width single beds)

Somewhat noisy ( 12th floor, just under tables and chairs beside outdoor swimming pool). But, we choose destination and only cabins avaliable at this time were "garanteed balcony". But, no noise after buffet hours.
