Stateroom B321
We were allocated a comfortable and relatively spacious mini-suite on Baja deck, in which the living room and bedroom were separated by an archway and curtain. The mini-suite featured a double-length balcony, accessible from either room. The bathroom had a Japanese-style toilet, a full-length bath and a separate shower compartment.
