Creator's Key Takeaways

It's got a little bit of twist. Let's go inside stateoom 12102 here on deck number 12.

We have lots and lots of space in here. You could probably sleep two people.

The downside to this room is at night, you do got to have these curtains closed because unfortunately the light from here does shine up on the bridge above us and that could be distracting.

I've already been locked outside of my room, so keep this in mind. You might use a different card than your room key.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep the curtains closed at night to avoid light from the bridge.
Take your room key with you at all times to avoid getting locked out.
Ask for more hangers if you don't have enough.
