Cabin 8020 - This stateroom was perfect for our family of 6. The four kids slept in the bedroom with two twins and two pullmen, alternating nightly! The queen bed in the other bedroom was nice for us. The living area was nice as well as having two bathrooms. Lots of closet space also. The only problem was noise late at night from the deck above (pool deck), but we were so worn out the noise didn't ruin the vacation.

Cabin 8094 - Embarkation and debarkation are great out of Galveston. Our ""premium, junior suite "" stateroom, however, left a lot to be desired. First, the furnishings were tired and worn. Second, the chairs and chaises on the veranda had mold on them and the coverings they had on them were filthy. They did change the coverings after we requested it. Most importantly, there was severe MOLD in the bathroom and spraying did not help. The worst part was that the cabin service staff and supervisors didn't seem to care about this problem. They sprayed with a disinfectant a couple of times but that was it. They stopped trying to do something after the second day.

Here is a video of Owner Suite 8502:

The Handicap Cabin shown under junior suites is not a junior suite. It is infact cabin 7532 balcony. My husband is standing in front of his power chair on the balcony. It is a large cabin, but the balcony is not deep enough to turn a large power chair around. He had to back into the cabin from the balcony.


(5) From: GUEST

Cabin 8533 and 8535 If you like sleeping, don't book these rooms. They are an expensive internal room category but definitely not worth the money. It is directly under the pool which starts cleaning after midnight and seems to go for hours. Also, it is very close to the atrium doors and is extremely noisy with band music.
