Cabin / Stateroom

We knew what to expect as far as size. Our steward cleaned our room nicely daily. We found that we had plenty of room for our stuff.

Ship tip

Bring portable battery charger for electronics. Plan your own excursions to save money and do what you would like. Do research and plan ahead!
