We had seen pictures in brochures and had SOME idea of what the cabins were like on board cruise ships... but, trust me, this isn't what we expected!

I'm not sure if it's because we were cruising so close to "Hurricane Season" or what (...maybe this cruise wasn't fully booked... maybe this is just an example of how nice Royal Caribbean is ALL the time!) but we scored an AWESOME room with a view for our first-ever cruise!

We had paid for a Category "H" lower level cabin with a window at a rate of $917 per person for a week. We got bumped up to a Category "C" Suite for FREE! (...There was a $900 price difference between what we paid for & what we got!)

We got bumped up to a Category "C" Suite for FREE! Plus, they included all sorts of little "extras" in the room... like the colorful food basket you see here.
