Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great for 2, room accommodation is up to 4 not recommended the balcony will become difficult if not impossible to access. The balcony needs to be cleaned daily to remove all diesel smoke particulates. No foot stools are provided since the balcony is narrow but long. Over all the wake noise was appreciated the views are fantastic coming in and out of ports.

Ship tip

Pack patience, the medallion is quirky and the crew is fairly new
