Creator's Key Takeaways

The water pressure is horrible. That's my complaint on that bathroom.

I would stay in this cabin again. Absolutely.

We are on the starboard side in the ass area, which means as you look over our balcony right below us to deck 8, you see jutting out is the outdoor smoking area and the bar delarosa that's outside.

It's a three passenger cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have this cabin and you happen to sit on that cushion and smell a little female persuasion, ask to have it replaced.
Be mindful if you're in a lower deck, you might smell the smoke from the smoking area below.
If the balcony door is closed, you really don't hear the noise from downstairs.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Noise from below decksIf balcony door is closed, you really don't hear it; noise travels up from smoking area and bar below.
Water pressure in bathroomsIt's poor on XL class ships; hope Carnival fixes it for future ships.
