due to weather we were unable to disembark in two of our scheduled ports. The excursions were informational but short. The cabin was very disappointing. Sewer smell from toilet we deducted the trap was draining and sewer gas was the issue. Very loud in our cabin couldn't sleep a couple nights

Agree. We pick our cabin and all upgrades are declined for those very reasons. Nice ports tho!

Sorry you did not have a good stateroom. You are correct, no matter the cruise line, always pick your cabin. We have let the cruise lines pick our cabin a few times and we are disappointed.
