This was my husband's and my first cruise.
Pros:
Easy to get on and off the Elation (New Orleans). We arrived about 11:30am and had no arrival lines. When we debarked we waited in the Library until our number was announced.
Great room! Not much rolling or motion probably due to the mid-ship and lower floor position. Quiet and not much foot traffic. Did not take the elevator except when arriving so the stairs were welcomed. Bathroom was small but good. Would recommend this room and location for those who like to sleep without motion!
