Since we were on the Conquest before, we felt like we knew this ship since it's the same class. Had a balcony cabin, 8323, and to us, it was a perfect location. Close to everything. Just 3 decks down, you are right at the coffee bar - stroll further and you are at the Alchemy Bar, night club, theater, etc.
Only negative on cabin location was that we could hear chairs being moved overhead, but it didn't bother us too much.
Dined in lower Platinum dining room and service was great. Usually bar service is a bit slow, but our waiter (Putu) was excellent.
We typically choose this category and deck, so no surprises. Everything you need is provided EXCEPT no hair conditioner. The shampoo and shower gel is in a wall mounted dispenser in the shower. Quality is terrible - shampoo doesn't lather up and feels like dish-soap. Shower gel a little better but still bad quality. Will definitely bring my own next time.
Heard chairs being moved, but didn't bother us too much.
Great location overall. Close to stairs/elevators and main parts of ship.
Pleasantly surprised - gorgeous beach!
St John Champagne Snorkel Sail - fantastic! Great crew, great service.
