Ship tip

this was oerfect fir my adult son a nd I toshare. If room had been occupied by third person as suggested it woukd be very uncomfortable. as many have stated the desuhn with toilet on ome side and shower on other and door to hall immediately in between there might be privacy concerns when one guest entered or exited cabin. Not well designed for no. related guests sharing a cabin
