Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Size and comfort were perfect Bed was comfortable and the bathroom/shower was large and nice

Ship tip

The forward balcony rooms have steel balcony railings meaning you can’t see the water through them. Not a huge deal but would prefer the plexiglass if given a choice

Disappointed in this stop We took a shore excursion to the beach and came back. Changed and went into town at 730pm. ALL the shops were closed. Not one single souvenir shop open. We were there until 1130pm. Not acceptable
