Staterooms

I have to say I was impressed by the size of my balcony stateroom -- never did I feel crowded. There was a king bed plus a sofa that in my cabin was transformed into a single bed. The balcony was large enough for two chairs with room to spare. Inside the cabin, there was no coffee table, but a desk, long and narrow, running most of the length of one wall. There was ample closet space, but few drawers, though each closet did feature a shelf.

The decor inside the cabin was very plain and mostly muted peach in color. While the king bed had a lovely, fluffy duvet and plenty of pillows, the single bed had only a thin wool blanket and one pillow -- it resembled a Navy cot though much more comfortable. Our room was constantly being made up, however, and it seemed every time we left and then returned, someone had been there in our absence. Whether making up the beds, turning them down or just generally tidying up, the turn-down service each night was excellent. I anticipated returning to the room not only for the mint on my pillow but to see what creative towel animal would be sitting on the bed to greet me.

I was equally pleased with the size of the bathroom. There was ample counter space around the sink for makeup application as well as storage of products. Though there is a hair dryer in each bathroom, the one in my room seemed out of date and quite literally fell apart several times. If you need to dry your hair for any length of time like I do, you'll have to take several breaks as the hair dryer becomes so hot it can burn your hands. Bottom line: BYO.

One nice touch was the basket of products in the bathroom when we arrived -- razors, toothpaste, dental floss and soap. Depending on how many people are in your cabin, don't count on this to be your supply for the duration of the trip. There was only one sample of each product and the basket was not replenished. But when I discovered I had forgotten my toothpaste, I was certainly grateful to Carnival for saving me a trip to the gift shop. The shower wasn't large, but roomy enough and even had an area to store soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
