Inside staterooms at 140 square feet, are on the small side, but well appointed, as are the rest of the cabin categories, with a mini-bar, safe, and closet and drawer space for a one-week cruise. A corner vanity below a mirrored corner cabinet (here’s where the hairdryer is stowed), provides table top space, along with the usual two small nightstands. There’s a chair tucked under the vanity and another by the bed. Ask your cabin steward to have one of the chairs removed if you prefer more floor space than sitting space. If you book an outside cabin with a window, the only thing you will gain is the ocean view, not more square footage. The inside and outside cabins designated for triple or quad occupancy are outfitted with upper bunks.
The bathrooms are small, but offer adequate storage space. The towels, although not overly luxurious in texture or weight, are huge. The bath towel, measuring 3 x 5 feet, is more of a bath sheet, with matching oversized hand towels. Shampoo and bath gel are provided in small bottles, along with a shower cap, shoe shine sponge, and a travel sized sewing kit. There are 2- 220V outlets at the dressing table and 2-100V there also. (none in the bathroom)
2 singles push together at the request of your room attendant. Most of the mattresses on the Lirica have been replaced with extra firm new ones, without a cushy pillow top. Foam egg crates are not available, but an extra blanket folded up and placed under the mattress pad did the trick if you prefer a softer feel. Pillows are abundant, and you could bounce a dime off those expertly made crisp sheets.
The telephone did not have the capacity for voice mail, but you could program it for a wake up call. The remote controlled television offered several different news and movie channels, as well as programming for children. Some of the programs are in European languages, but there is always something for the English speaking passenger.
