Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was fine. Worked well.

Ship tip

The trampoline park is gone because too many injuries and lawsuits. The skydiving is 50 a person for 2 minutes unless you are on a transatlantic. They let you do it once each sea day free.

We missed this port and went to funchal instead. We were only in funchal from like 6:00 p.m. to midnight but it's also a hillside town and is pretty nice.
