We had been on a cruise ship before and this one was nice, too.
The interior of the room was very similar to a ship we had been on before. As you walked into the room, the bathroom was on the right while on the left there was a closet and a small safe for valuables. It was not real big but it was very efficient. On the right, further in, was a small mirror for the ladies which was handy for applying makeup. Past this was the queen size bed and beyond was a small living area with a small couch, a chair, a glass coffee table and a console with a small dorm style refrigerator and a small TV.
Like every ship room, it was not very big, but it was extremely efficient. The particular room on this ship had a nice balcony over-looking the ocean. Just behind the "living area", through a pair of sliding glass doors, was a balcony.
The balcony area itself was probably about 5 feet deep and about 10 feet wide and probably 6 or 7 stories above the waters' edge. It had a beautiful wood hand-railing with metal slats and supports underneath. The patio had two small chairs and was perfect for relaxing. On both sides of the patio, large metal dividers separated each room from the next balcony beside it- providing privacy at least on a visual level. The floor of the balcony was covered with plastic mesh material about 1/2 thick which would probably stand up to scrubbing and cleaning and also provide excellent drainage when the ship traveled through moisture or rain.
From the very first time Lilly and I were in the room, we decided that sometime during the cruise we would have to "play on the balcony." For years we have referred to our lovemaking as "playing" because it has remained fun for years. On the previous cruise, we had used a large portal window for an interesting voyeuristic play session and the balcony just begged for a play session of some sort. We would have to wait for a good time....
