Our Stateroom
Our stateroom is called a Penthouse Veranda. It is located on deck 6 and is a very comfortable 340 square feet.
Our Stateroom
One of the things I liked about our stateroom is that all of the outlets accepted both US and European plugs, which means no adapters required. There were also 6 or 8 USB ports for charging all of our devices.
Our Stateroom
Sometimes shower stalls are a bit small on cruise ships but our shower was comfortable.
