My husband and I were first time cruisers. We chose an ocean view balcony cabin and it was worth it! There was plenty of room for the two us. My husband is quite tall and did find the shower a little cramped. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony in the morning. Tried breakfast from room service and it was ok. Food in dining room was wonderful and plentiful. The waitstaff in the dining room for dinner were friendly and gave us great recommendations for the meal. Went to the Windjammer for breakfast and lunch a few times-food was ok but it was very crowded and loud. Shows (especially Momma Mia and the Headliner show) were great. Staff on the ship were attentive and helpful. Shore excursions were a little disappointing but we made the best of them. We had such a great time that we booked another trip next year.
