Cabins on most cruise lines are smaller than they appear on television. They are designed for efficiency and to encourage you to use the much larger public facilities on board the ship. Some outside cabins will also have a small balcony. Most cabins have twin beds which can be converted to a queen size. Many of the newer ships have safes in the rooms, and TVs that show current movies, give casino instructions, and general cruise information.
Most cabins have only a shower and cabins with tubs are available on most ships.
Diabetic needs and other medical diets should be specified in advance. The cruise line will try to meet your needs, however, it is your responsibility to advise all parties ahead of time. Any special requirements that the cruise line may not be able to meet, should be arranged on your own. This request must be made in advance so be sure to advise your travel representative of this requirement when you book your cruise. Tipping is a matter of individual preference.
