We were on the 10/11 Canadian cruise. The trip was eventful only due to the weather, the captain did a great job keeping us safe and sound.
The room was clean, the linens were nice and clean as was the bathroom. We felt like it was a very nice setup, the room was quiet which I didn't expect on a ship. Our stewards were attentive and proactive.
The food was great, and yes the Italian restaurant was definitely the weakest restaurant. Tamarind was outstanding (wish it was open for more lunches), the Rembrandt room served quality food in a very nice atmosphere. We dined open seating on the 2nd level. There are several happy hours every day on the ship and if you make use of them, you can cut your drink bill substantially. We brought wine on board, but felt like we really didn't need to as two glasses of wine were about $7 during happy hour and it was actually pretty good quality wine. We did not go to the Pinnacle, we didn't feel we needed to with the quality of the food being served in the dining room. We did use the Lido sporadically, loved the bread pudding.
We had a balcony which we used only a few times. Several times someone with a cigar came out to smoke and it headed right for our balcony. It felt private and offered us a great view of the passing landscapes. We never saw any sea life the entire 10 day trip.
