Creator's Key Takeaways

the cove balcony for those of you who don't know really does give you as close to the sea feeling as is absolutely possible from a balcony on any ship

i would probably stay away from deck five i would probably go somewhere in these sort of middle decks here this 10 to 14 or so are going to be your your decks that you're going to find the quietest rooms

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy a 12-pack of water for $4 in your cruise planner at least two weeks before sailing instead of buying $5 bottles on board.
βœ“Bring a power adapter if you're using non-US plugs, as the cabin only has US outlets.

Noise from deck six above the cove balconies β€” Choose a cabin on decks 10 to 14 for a quieter experience.
Limited storage in the cabin β€” Use the fold-down shelving in the closet and under-bed space efficiently.
