I polled all of those in my group for this review (myself, DH, DS (aged 18) DS (aged 17) and friends (mom and son aged 17.) We all agreed that the interior room layouts felt spacious, especially ours with the king. Plenty of storage and bathroom space. The only problem with the room was slow drainage in the shower. A long shower always meant a flooded bathroom floor. I never met Jerry, our room attendant, although the others did. He kept everything wonderful and clean. Anytime you put out the "cruising" sign you would return to a clean room. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was very nice.

Regarding food, the burgers got rave reviews. Some of us thought the dining room food was so-so, but others said they liked everything they ordered. The melting cake was inconsistent, even at the same table. Some were like soup, others cooked through. It is tasty when it's just right. They worked out gluten-free choices for our friend, and she really liked the toasted bread. We had my-time dining, which we liked, but you miss out on getting to know your servers. The pizza wasn't great, but it was available 24/7, which was nice. There was always a long line. Free drinks are lemonade, iced tea, juice, hot chocolate and coffee. Soft Drinks are $2.38 each with tip. The buffet breakfast was okay (fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, grits, small pancakes, biscuits and gravy.)The lunch buffet was better with a salad bar, fried shrimp, fish, chicken, cold cuts, potato salad, cole slaw, etc. We tried the fish and fries upstairs and it was good. I never went to the deli or make your own omelets because the lines were long.

Everything on the ship seemed sparkling clean. They just refurbed last year and everything looks nice. We liked the tiered decks around the pool. We saw people watching the movies on the big screen and they set out blankets for you which was nice, and they also had popcorn. On Saturday night we watched the NCAA final four in the EA Sports lounge and that was fun (but crowded.) Mon. nite we watched the final game on the big screen by the pool and saw the KY Wildcats win it all. It was fun being with the big crowd, however satellite on board is spotty and the video kept freezing and the sound went out for 30 minutes til we found the cruise director to re-set it.
