Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was good. there was a shower/tub combo that was difficult to get into because of the high walls. Could not fully open the closet due to the couch blocking it

Ship tip

Don't stay on the the floor under the main dining- always heard the chairs/tables being moved around.

Long lines to get off the ship and no one was following the color luggage tags
