Creator's Key Takeaways

We found it to be really perfect for transatlantic crossings when the weather isn't great. We could be outside the balcony without getting wet.

There are neither plugs nor USB ports at the bedsides. There are UK outlets under the bed which are a little bit hard to get to.

The hallway from the main cabin entrance into the main cabin room space features closet area on one side and bathroom on the other. That does mean that closet doors and bathroom doors can collide a little bit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own hooks to use the steel walls and ceilings for extra storage space.

Powering devicesBe aware that outlets are under the bed and you may need to sacrifice lamps to plug in CPAP machines or chargers.
Obstructed viewsChoose lower decks like Deck 4 to avoid lifeboats obstructing your view, which happens on higher decks like Deck 8.
