Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The balcony in this cabin is rather odd shaped. There wasn't even enough room for both chairs. Would not have purchased this room if I were properly advised of the situation. The picture on this review is misleading!

Nice review – thanks for sharing!  We sailed Radiance of the Seas on the same itinerary earlier this year and loved it too!
