Noteworthy:

The staff was exceptional and were always ready with a warm smile and greeting.

We were very impressed with the specialty dining at Sabatini's (go hungry!) but were disappointed with the Steakhouse - the food here was good, the service ok but the ambiance was very disappointing. They converted a section of the Horizon Dining area (where the buffet took place) into a steakhouse - nice window views but that's about it. I understand that when the ship goes into dry-dock they will be creating a new space so look for it soon.

Cabin Review

Cabin AC

We had a mini-balcony suite (D 308) - it was a perfect location as it was steps from the elavators - still in a quiet hallway even thought the crew space was nearby. The closet/storage space was adequate - not huge but certainly fine - and the bathroom was spacious - lots of shelf space under the sink/counters - nice amenities and the towels were plush and a nice size. Our cabin had robes - if you're a slipper person bring your own! There is a safe in the closet, too. Oh - almost forgot, a few doors down from our cabin was a public laundry room with ironing boards and irons (the iron was very useful the one time I needed it!) Our balcony was a good size although we really didn't use it much - it had 4 chairs with a small table. Overall, very simple decor, nice lighting and plush linens - the only complaint is that we had a bit of a challenge getting the temperature 'just right' (cool enough for sleeping). We would definitely select a similar cabin in the future.
