Review summary

Our family booked rooms 11008 and 11004 large balcony staterooms...didn't know that the balcony was metal and you couldn't sit and look at the ocean...you had to stand to see out. The bathroom is not private...never saw such a weird configuration in a stateroom before...separate shower, separate toilet, situated by the entrance with just a curtain to separate them from the bedroom area. Extremely small stateroom with a tiny, tiny sink right in the stateroom counter. OMG who designed such horrible staterooms. Otherwise the ship is absolutely beautiful, very clean and modern. Exceptional service from the room steward and all personnel very friendly! Excellent buffet and alternative dining. Much better food than Carnival Cruiselines.

Excellent room steward. Horrible configuration for a cabin. Couldn't see over the balcony is you were sitting, it was metal, not glass like most of the other balconies and the bathroom is pretty much right in the room...no privacy whatsoever!!
