  1. I don’t know which cruise ship is in the second photo but those cabin windows looking at each other is horrible. Cabins with balcony are great, but in these “torpedo silos” I couldn’t enjoy a 7-10 day long cruise trip.

  2. Royal Caribbean are really covering all aspects of the market. Impressive!
    That promenade looks amazing, you’d never believe that was inside a cruise ship.
