Room 12189 review and a friend who stayed with me on the last night.

[codeyell0]

If you have the chance we loved this room and its location.  12189 Meraviglia. 
Not to far up to be blocked completely by the over hang,  not too far down to be in the sun all the time. For us just right.
The Balcony was huge. Loved it. I had setup a hammock that was cozy. 
My wife was soo worried about 4 people in the room and was surprised how well it accommodated us all. 
My son was so scared when he flushed for the first time. He is only 4. It does sound like it will suck you in. 

The first pic is the falcon/hawk i saw when i came out on the last night he stayed all night.  
Now the first night I noticed in the middle of the night lots of birds flying. I only saw them when they came into the lights. I thought this was odd if I was home i would swear these were bats.  Later early am like 5-6am the birds were all in the rafters pipes what not.  hundreds.  Then they disappeared and I figured because i saw some bigger birds flying around. Later I realized they were hawks/falcons.  no bird expert but looks like a falcon.  The whole time on the ship the small birds like sparrows were hanging around the pool deck.  But not in the numbers i saw that first morning heading into ocean cay.  free ride?
I noticed the Falcons again on the way back to Miami from Ocean cay.

The pics of the chairs and beer were for a meme wish you were here thing.

Thanks for your post and photos.  With both of the extra beds made, there does appear to be more room than I would expect.  Got a chuckle about your 4 year old's reaction to flushing the toilet!

I can say I fell asleep out there at night a few times. The gentle rock of the ship, was like rocking a baby to sleep
I had a big balcony but i looked and there are safe points to attach to. I did not have both of the mounting points pictured below. since I was on the end. 
the wall dividers, are welded and can handle something attached.  sorry no pictures of it installed.
below are two points you can attach to. I got a hammock on amazon for like 15-20 bucks its small when packed up and was worth brining 
 
How I attached the other end. I only attached to spots that had steel.

Oh I could easily take it down and leave the ropes.  it would unclip put it away and then reclip it back.

I love it!  Thanks for showing me!  What a great idea.  It was too hot to truly enjoy a nap outside on our last cruises, but I might start packing one just in case!  I think we'd like to try a cove balcony next (I'm ghostly pale!) and I wonder if there'd be room and if there are similar attachment points.

I believe that the bird visitor is a juvenile osprey.

I was in a similar room on 12 but with a smaller balcony than yours.  Very roomy compared to the RC cruise I was on in 2018.
