Windstar Cruises: Wind Surf

Accommodations

Layout-Amenities: Wind Surf's ocean-view staterooms are a study in efficiency and clever design. Hanging lockers ("closets" to nonsailors) are generous. A small enclosed cabinet conceals a personal safe and an entertainment center features a flat-screen TV and DVD and CD players. The combination vanity-desk and bedside table have drawers for ample storage. A few standard cabins have upper fold-down Pullman berths for a third passenger.

Suites: Double the size of standard staterooms, suites were created by reconfiguring two standard cabins to create accommodations with twice as much storage, two bathrooms, and a generous sitting area with a sofa bed to offer a berth for a third passenger. The bedroom and sitting room can be separated by drawing a curtain for privacy. Two super-size bridge suites have living and dining areas, a separate bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom with a whirlpool tub and separate shower.

Good to Know: Special touches in each stateroom and suite are fresh flowers, terry robes for use during the voyage, and bath toiletries. Teak-floor bathrooms are sensibly laid out and spacious enough for two people to actually share the space. All staterooms and suites are equipped with barware, a minibar, and hair dryer. Voltage is 220, so converters are needed for most small appliances. There are no cabins configured for wheelchair accessibility.
