I'm not sure why this boat is not getting great reviews from everyone. I think this ship is fine for a 4 night ship. Everything looks new and clean. Reviewers claiming that this ship is "showing her age" and "not clean", I'm wondering if we were on the same boat???? I found it nice and just a smaller version of the bigger class of ships really.
The food is very good. We ate in the Windjammer Cafe, the dining room at night and the Johnny Rockets and everything was good. The entertainment is good quality. We went to see the comedian and the song and dance number and they were both good. Our Junior Suite with a balcony was wonderful and well worth the upgrade price. It was very roomy and spacious for a room on a cruise. I'll always choose a balcony from now on. It was a totally different experience being able to go out and have your own private view of the ocean.
The crew on this ship is excellent and all interaction with crew members was a friendly experience.
Loved the balcony! This suite had lots of good storage and was very "roomy" & spacious for a cruise compared to the inside cabins. The shower had a bathtub area which I really appreciated and I thought the bathroom was a lot bigger than the tiny bathroom on the inside cabins of the Freedom of the seas, where I had previously sailed. The balcony is private. The room has a nice couch and chair area to sit in and put more things. The tv was flat screen and new. In short, the balcony is VERY WORTH THE UPGRADE PRICE! A totally different experience to have a balcony on a cruise! If you can afford it, DO IT!
