Cabin: Standard Interior Stateroom

We were on a 7 night Western Caribbean cruise with scheduled stops in Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

Embarkation was fairly fast. At Fort Lauderdale, you are put in a group of 30 people and you board when your group is called, so it was about 45 minutes to board, with no issues at all with getting to our cabin.

The ship itself is beautiful and well kept. We noticed that none of the ship was run down. See the cabin review below. We were in an inside cabin on deck 5 towards the middle of the ship, and there was not much traffic so it was fairly quiet. Our stewards were wonderful, and we had housekeeping services twice a day. The cabin was well stocked, and we never ran out of anything. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The shower was large. There was plenty of storage for everything we had, and we used a few of our tricks such as magnetic hooks and shoe holders to remove any clutter and to keep the floor clear. Luggage goes under the bed. Overall, we were very happy with our room. When we travel, we tend to spend very little time in the room, except to read, nap, and sleep, and can never justify the cost of a balcony when we can find a perch outside.
