Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was nice. My only issue is with housekeeping not turning in my Camp Snoopy stuffed animal left on the bed. I was in cabin 6309 and my cabin person was Made. I thought for sure he would have turned it in to lost and found but did not. I would really like Snoopy back. He is about 12" tall, red shirt, sunglasses.... He was a gift and has a lot of sentimental value.

Small town, not much to see. Just shopping. No excursion. Went to glassblowing shop but didn't realize you couldn't view anything without paying to look in window.
