Additional details
A little about us so you will understand our perspective:
This is our sixth cruise. Four have been with Royal Caribbean and one, our last in March 2008, was with Celebrity. We live in Texas, are both professionals, are in our mid and late 40s, have no children, like to ballroom dance, and like to read. While cruising we usually get up before sunrise and seldom stay up past midnight. We don't participate in pool games or other such activities and we think art auctions on board are annoying.

Cabin Review
Signature Superior Verandah Suite
The cabin was absolutely fabulous. After having our room steward remove one of the three side chairs, the cabin's layout was extremely functional with more than enough room for two. We particularly liked the desk that had a window overlooking the balcony and the two sinks in the bathroom. The bathroom had both a full size tub and a shower stall, which came in handy one night when we were rushed getting ready for dinner. The shower stall was a bit cramped though, and we normally took showers in the tub. The balcony, though not as big as those on the stern, was deeper than the balconies on standard veranda cabins. There was ample room for a large dining table with two chairs, two chairs with ottomans, and a small side table. The balcony furniture was faux wicker and was much better than the furniture provided on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. The partitions between balconies were also better than what we have seen on the other lines. They extended a bit further over the railing and had no seams that you could see through.
