Foyer, Tranquility	Cabin Tranquility	Avalon Bathroom

Overall Impression: A very attractive boat with a large and inviting lobby that makes a good first impression. Colors are in the red and blue theme but that is not quite as garish as it sounds. Lots of burled wood, even the doors to the cabins were burled wood, probably laminate but it looked good. Chrome and glass abound with a light airy feel. A combination of the more traditional décor mixed with a little glitz!  However, I liked this look and felt it was very warm. I do prefer a more subdued decor but would not be surprised at all if others preferred this Avalon décor. 

81 Cabins:  172 square feet.
Twin or queen bed configuration with linens used to match the bed style.  Two large night stands - one with two drawers and one with shelves. There is one hanging closet with front to back hanging (less convenient and harder to find clothing) and one closet with shelving that also has a mini refrigerator.  Desk covers entire wall with inset for narrow table area.  TV is mounted on the wall to conserve space. Bottom category is the same without the French balcony and has two portholes instead of the normal higher larger windows.   

4 Junior Suites: 248 square feet
Suite is very nice with an angled bed and lots of walk around space. There are two desk top areas - one with the mini bar and then a separate larger desk and two big drawers. Love seat, chair and glass top table in the sitting area. Two closets feature side to side hanging (much more convenient) and a shelf unit with safe.   Beautiful highly polished wood surfaces, with a lot of counter top storage.  The larger marble bathroom has a walk in shower (no bathtub) with more storage in the bathroom.
