We chose this cruise because of the cruise month specials last year no the appeal of the new ship. The pluses were great service in all venues, the wait staff in the dining room was awesome. Loved the pizza and sandwich place above the lido pool. The Finocchio pizza is great. Loved the chocolate pretzels at movie time. The movie venue is really nice, they do an excellent job. Like having the roof being able to close so if it rains you can still watch the movie.
We had an aft cabin on level 8 below the the rear pool. We had chronic noise issues at times like 230 am, 5 am ,etc. The front desk response was" we can move you". We did not wish to move. Cabin was nice, the toilets are at a bizarre angle and if you are tall, you have to turn. Your feet run into the shower doors the way it is angled. Awesome storage drawers under bed, cabinet over sofa, as well as standard closet and drawer space.
Loved the theatre with the surround theatre. It is very well done. Enjoyed every show we attended. We saw all of the theatre productions and most of the other shows. They had some excellent comedians. The BBC show with the accompanying live music is well worth seeing. We enjoyed the music walk venues.
