Husband booked it for us 3 girls! My husband and I had been on this ship last year.

This was a girlfriend’s cruise in which one was a first timer, a second timer/12 years ago and a gold member. Piano Bar-Stevie was great and lots of fun! The bar staff in the piano bar never smiled and Stevie would often have to holler for him over the microphone. One evening in the piano bar which was not very busy. We did not see the bartender for 40 minutes and some people came and then left because they could not get a drink. The bartender never returned with my receipt for me to sign. Not sure if he was taking care of another bar as well or what the issue was.

Large outdoor screen on the Lido deck-This was very disappointing. I guess it needs replaced! The whole trip it had large blocks of the screen that were either lighter or darker than the rest of the picture. The one Dive in Movie that we did attempt to go see there was a large black vertical stripe down the screen. It was too distracting to try to watch. I left after 20 minutes into the movie!

Our Stateroom Steward was great! New this time was the room steward offered choice of service to the room of morning, evening or both. We chose just evening. Also was the choice to have robes and extra blankets or pillows and how many. Our steward did a good job with our room and would also accommodate any other needs that arose. Room Service- this used to be free. There are a few items still free like a PBJ sandwich, a grilled cheese and a few other items. But if you ordered a Philly sandwich it was $5.50.

Room stewards arguing in the hallway (not our room stewards)

My husband and I had been in this room in May of 2015 and loved the room but the electronic blinds were broken and they would come in at night and Velcro a tarp over the large floor to ceiling window. Looked very tacky. The blinds were fixed and worked well. Very happy to see this!!!
