The staterooms look beautiful! We are sailing on the May 30th voyage on the Inspire and can't wait to see more pictures (and actually board). It is reassuring to learn that the launch is on schedule.

 

Thanks for sharing the link!

I d give them a try.Saw the loft and looks nice,but still a window up some stairs.

Sorry, doesn't make me want to go on one.

 

And I know they get good reviews.;)

The lofts look very nice and would be great for anyone without mobility issues.

I wouldn't stay in a room with non opening windows/doors if anything else was available. We always try to have fresh air in our room.

Looks nice but I don't think it would be for us.

There are 8 loft cabins on the MS Inspire and they all have windows that open. These are the only cabins that have stairs. The lofts are an innovative way to get light and nice views into some of the "aquarium" cabins.

 

Most of the cabins have French balconies, which is sufficient for our needs. We most likely would not use a full balcony and would rather have more space in the cabin. (I realize this is a matter of personal preference and some people really want a full balcony.) We expect to spend most of our time in the common areas and a spacious cabin should be plenty for us.

 

For those that want lots of space, there are 22 cabins that are 300 sq. ft. and they have double French balconies. There are also 32 cabins that are 225 sq. ft.: 24 of these have French balconies and 8 are the lofts with windows that open.

 

The riverboat only carries 130 passengers, so there is more space per passenger than is typical of most of the other river cruise lines.

It looks like a great ship and I'm sure we will be very comfortable.
