My sister and I spent $12,599 each to share a concierge suite with two twin beds.

Our suite was on the smaller side compared to other options on board.Rachel Dube

The room was 332 square feet, making it about double the size of most cabins I've stayed in on other ships.

Each bed had a nightstand and several outlets that were easily accessible and perfectly placed.Rachel Dube

Upon entering the room, I was surprised by how spacious it truly was.

I was greeted with a bottle of champagne and chocolates.Rachel Dube

There was also a large seating area with a couch, coffee table, TV, and cabinet with glasses and extra storage.

The couch could probably sit two people.Rachel Dube

On the opposite wall was a cabinet with refillable water bottles, bottles of water, and fruit.

We could refill the water bottles throughout our voyage.Rachel Dube

Directly in front of the bed was the sliding door to a massive furnished balcony.

The balcony is covered and and probably added over 50 square feet to our space.Rachel Dube

The room also had luxurious L'Occitane products and other essentials, like cotton pads and sewing kits.

Throughout the trip, my stateroom attendant restocked whatever was running low or missing.Rachel Dube

There was plenty of storage for all my toiletries, including eight shelves underneath the sink.

The shower also had shelves inside of it for more storage.Rachel Dube

Overall, the room had plenty of space for two people. We didn't feel cramped in the slightest and found it enjoyable to be in our room.
