This means that families and friends can now connect up through three di erent types of adjoining staterooms, to create a unique home base at sea. The bedrooms are all separate and everyone gets their own bathroom, so that puts an end to queues in the morning. What’s ingenious about this is that you can all be together as a family, but if you want some quiet time alone, all you have to do is close the door. This is a great option if you want to make the most of your time on holiday with your family.
