Creator's Key Takeaways

The shower itself was a little bit bigger, maybe about 10 to 15% bigger than I've had in other standard balcony cabins.

It's way less crazy than the main buffet. So this is a good option if you want something a little bit quieter.

My favorite hideaway spot is these chairs right above the inside pool bar.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be prepared to wait outside for part of the boarding process if boarding in Los Angeles.
✓Check out the dining room for breakfast if you want healthier choices.
✓Use the non-smoking casino located in the music hall.
✓Visit the upper deck of 270 for a great library.
