My thoughts - Two people, one cabin safe.

There are 1001 questions I am going to want to ask between now and when I get on the boat. Hopefully the staff wont get too fed up of me between now and then. I will try not to ask any SILLY questions, but a question is a question and 3 months is a long time to be unhappy with something.

Anyway here is my first enquiry:

PO Cruise enquiry
Name: johanna *******
Email: *******
Phone: *******
Comment: Artemis: A south American Odyssey. *******As a single person I am quite disappointed that charges arent per room and I have found it necessary to cabin share to make this cruise affordable. So, my concern is FAIRLY simple. How can I ensure the safety of my possessions in a shared cabin? Are there two safes in a cabin? Is there a central safe where people can leave valuables/money? MANY thanks Johanna

Anyway here is the reply to my first enquiry:

Dear Mrs *******

Thank you for your email.

I regret to advise that there is only one safe within the cabin. If you are sharing a cabin with someone, I would suggest that you discuss who would leave their belongings in the safe, as the other passenger can leave their personal items in the safe deposit boxes, which are found in Reception. I hope this information has helped to answer your enquiry and look forward to welcoming you on board soon.

Kind regards

I confess I am hoping that I beat my fellow traveller to the room and can claim the safe for myself. If the other person beats me to it- I am hoping that they wont be making the full trip - that way for at least some of the journey I will be on my own and I can use the fact that I will get more use out of the safe than the other person!!

I hope this isnt being sneeky - I see it as just being practical!
