Creator's Key Takeaways

If you have a balcony stateoom, don't think that you can sleep at night with the door open while listening to the crashing waves and feeling the ocean breeze.

Your air conditioning will not work in your stateateroom unless that door is not only closed, but locked.

It gets hot, hot, hot.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Close and lock the balcony door to ensure air conditioning works in the stateroom.
