For this last minute cruise, we are trying an interior cabin. I’m pretty impressed by the space and layout. Traveling with my teen son, it’s nice that the bathroom/wardrobe around a corner. Lots of low automatic lights if one gets up in the night. I did bring a motion sensor small light which I put in that dark corner. I definitely don’t want to stub my toe when I forget to step up isn’t the bathroom area.

I snuck in my son’s stuffed husky that his grandparents brought him from their Alaskan cruise. Our steward Gil put him on his pillow during turndown service at my request. I know my son was secretly touched although he played it cool. 😉
