Overall Room Condition Impressions
There is a little bit of wear and tear, but, it is in generally good shape
Would You Book This Same Cabin Again?
Absolutely! It's a great cabin.
Noise In Cabin
No Noise -- Very Quiet Cabin
A little noise during showtime as is last cabin next to the Show theatre but the last show ends before 11.00pm so no problem. Also close to lifts making very convenient. No ship movement experienced either.
Cabin Odor
No noticable Odors
Temperature Control in Cabin
The temperature controls were good, but, you would have to regularly change them to maintain the appropriate temperature
The aircon is above the bed so was blowing down when sleeping. Caught a cold. Maintenance man called and fitted a padded filter which really helped
WiFi Signal Strength in Cabin F1001
Have you seen what the cruise line charges for WiFi? I can't afford that... (I didn't test it...)
Lighting
The lighting was good -- nothing extraordinary
Bathroom Condition
There is a little bit of wear and tear on the bathroom, but, it didn't feel dirty
View From The Cabin
Amazing view - I loved looking at the view every day
Unobstructed. Great views and close to water line. Loved it as you can lie in the window sill. We padded it with pillows for comfort
Drawers, Clothes and Luggage Storage
Excellent. I was able to find a place for everything in the drawers and closet. I didn't have to leave anything in my suitcase
Technology, Comfort & Convenience
Excellent. Larger sized flat-panel TV. Ipod dock
Lounging Space
Excellent. Combination of chair(s), couch and coffee or side table. Everyone could find a seat
Your Comments & Observations (OPTIONAL QUESTION)
We have cruised numerous times and really had no issues with this cabin. Comfortable and kept clean. Ample storage. Good sized TV. Great view out of window. If you want absolute silence then maybe reconsider as can hear minimal noise when a show is on but I am a very light sleeper and slept better on this bed than at home. At home we have a great bed as well but could not fault this cabin. The bathroom is small as to be expected but plenty of hot water and complimentary, good quality liquid soap and shampoo. The loo seat was a little worn but that is just being nitpicky. Would not have any objections in being allocated this cabin in future. Situated near the sharp end of the ship. Easy access as lifts on your doorstep. No noise from their operation. No cabin on one side as this is next to the Theatre. The colour scheme is a little bland but then I love colour a lot so understand neutrality for other guests. We did not experience any ship movement even during reasonably high seas on some days.

In a perfect world, everybody would be honest and there would be no "fake" reviews -- reviews for compensation, reviews by those with a business connection to the cruise line and even reviews by persons who never cruised in this cabin or on this ship! Use common sense and maintain a degree of skepticism with all reviews that you read.
