Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Balcony cost $$$$ it was closed 3 out of 7 days because they were painting it. The patio furniture was placed in the room and the paint odor was offensive, especially for COPD sufferers. The remaining days were noisy with banging and clanging with tether boats from the deck below

The best part of the cruise, free shuttle to shopping (or short walk) where the marriott hotel had the greatest public beaches, statuary and koi ponds. the soft grass was gently sloping under the breezy palm trees and direct beachfront.
