The Ship Public Rooms: The public rooms on board were beautiful and clean. The lounges, restaurants, shops, pool, etc. were well designed the ship was full but only the pool area seemed to ever feel crowded. The Stardust Theater and the Galaxy of the Stars lounge were two favorites. The exercise room was put together well and was very clean.

Balcony Room: Our balcony room had plenty of space for storage the closet unit swallowed up everything we brought and the bathroom was one of the larger units I have experienced. The bed was firm but comfortable and the balcony was definitely worth the upgrade. We observed 100's of flying fish and a whale while sitting on our balcony.

Food: Teppanyaki room was $25 extra per person worth it for the show but be prepared to pay $35 if you want lobster. Cagney's was $20 per person and had wonderful shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, and sides. The steak was nothing to write home about and there were a number of selections that required the $10 up charge. Le Bistro's filet and lamb were two highlights both were extremely tender and moist. The filet at the $15 Bistro was better than that at the steakhouse. Garden dining room seemed very crowded we spent most of our meals at Windows and were rewarded with window seats every time we dined. We waited once for 3 minutes for a meal other than that we were always seated immediately. The standard dining room food (Windows) was excellent. Portions were smaller than on other ships but this was actually nice we could eat several courses and not feel stuffed to the gills after eating. Lobster was served at least twice in the main dining rooms but was a piece the size of a chicken McNugget though it always was surrounded by other seafood. The buffet was excellent and was an eclectic mix of world flavors. Read more
