Creator's Key Takeaways

If you are not a fan of soft beds and you want a firmer bed, you're going to hate these beds.

I can't confidently say you should book one of those on Decade. I think it's important to note that we aren't the only ones that really experienced this.

Princess just never misses on these beds, man. It's so good. The pillows are great. It's a nine out of 10, baby.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring magnetic hooks for the walls as the built-in hooks may not hold much weight.
Consider bidding for an upgrade to an obstructed balcony as it can be a cost-effective way to get more space.
Avoid midship rooms on Deck 8 if you are sensitive to smells, as they reported sewage and laundry odors.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Obstructed viewsThe obstruction doesn't completely block the ocean view, and it can be a good way to save money via upgrade bids.
Lack of power outletsBe aware that nightstands may lack plugs; use the desk area for charging devices.
