Our cabin had an L-shaped sofa and table, a full size desk, a single bed in the main room, and a double bed in a separate bedroom, along with a 3/4 bath (shower, not tub.) Also a fridge. We had windows facing out to sea and forward (thus blocked by containers for the most part.) It was probably twice the size of "veranda" cabins we've occupied on conventional cruise ships. We had a steward who made the beds daily and changed linens every few days. Laundry was available - can't remember the cost but cheap - and you bought alcohol from the ship (at duty free prices) and they would provide setups. There was a stationary bike, a plunge pool (which we didn't use as it was unheated and prone to sloshing quite a bit) and a ping pong table. (The officers were German and Polish, the crew mostly Pacific islanders from Kiribati, where evidently ping pong is quite the pastime - they were good as well as able to balance on a moving deck.)
