Rooms & Suite
Spacious layouts with kitchenettes, balconies, and spa-style bathrooms. Many rooms offer partial or full ocean views.
Family-friendly options include one- and two-bedroom suites with living areas, ideal for relaxing or decompressing after a cruise. I commented to my husband when I saw the room, This would have been a great place to stay when our boys were little kids.
Pro tip: Request a higher floor for better views and quieter nights. We were on the 9th floor and had a nice, quiet balcony to relax on.
