Staterooms

Inside accommodations range from four-berth to twin-bedded cabins. Twin sea views with picture windows and balconied outside twins are available. At the top of the range, 300-square-ft. mini suites and 430-square-ft. top-grade suites feature separate seating and dining area.

All cabins have individual air conditioning, televisions, direct dial telephones, safes, minibars and hairdryers.

I stayed in an oceanview cabin on Deck 9 and was impressed by the simple but stylish decor -- cream walls and curtains, cherry wood fittings, a deep red carpet, and a cheerful poppy-patterned bedspread and cushions on two bucket-style chairs flanking an oval coffee table.

The lighting was cozily subdued but strong enough to read by, and there was ample storage space -- including a triple wardrobe, deep drawers and two substantial bedside cabinets -- as well as a small balcony with two sit-up chairs and a coffee table.

And the bathroom, though equipped with space-saving white plastic shower and wash basin units, had a pretty grey and white marble floor and sink top, six storage shelves and plenty of towel rails.
