Additional details
We arrived in San Diego a couple of days prior to our sailing date and very much enjoyed the City. We stayed at the Wyndham Bayside, South Tower, 9th Floor and the Century parked directly in front of our balcony window. What a treat! We checked out of our Hotel at 11 am and walked across the street to check in at our "new hotel" :) Embarkation was a breeze, line moved steadily along and we were on the ship before we knew it.
Our room steward Sheldon was amazing! (assisted by Antonio). Couldn't have asked for better room attendants. They were great!!! Dining Room (Select Dining) was excellent. Never had to wait in line for a table and we usually had the same table each night. Super easy breezy and excellent wait staff and the Maitre'D, Jason was superb. We had only one glitch in 15 days as one night (long wait for a menu and bread) and we mentioned it to Jason and he was on it like bees to honey! he couldn't do enough for us! such a very nice, young man.
For most breakfasts and lunches, we ate at the AquaSpa Cafe. We also enjoyed Islands Cafe for lunches, pre-dinner Sushi, and whatever! Cova Cafe was a lovely spot to listen to the Jazz Trio and enjoy pastries, cakes outside of dinner times.
Cabin Review
Booked Inside Stateroom Guarantee (Cat Z) and were assigned Cabin 4097. At check-in (embarkation) discovered we were upgraded to 9018 (Oceanview, Cat 04).9018 is at the front of the ship which is subject to motion. We did have a couple of nights of rough seas, but this did not bother us (we slept like babies!). I only mention this, in case the reader may be subject to motion sickness. The cabin was spacious with plenty of storage space and very quiet. Deck 9 has staterooms above and below - a lovely location. We enjoyed being at the front of the ship, close to the AquaSpa Cafe which we visited both for breakfast and for lunches. We felt quite lucky to be upgraded from 4097 (midship) to 9018 (front of ship) and the view was from our lovely picture window was great.
