THE SHIP: Brand new, very nice, bright & fresh decor. Public spaces mostly very well thought out and laid out. There were lots of people on this cruise, 1/3 of the passengers were minors of all ages, mostly tweens & teens. Never felt overcrowded. Aft dining room is the place to be for the unobstructed view.

THE CABIN. Cove balcony, again new, fresh & bright. Very nice. Washroom typical of similar sizes on other ships. 110V and 220V available. Mini-fridge in cabin. Flat screen HDTV. Balcony is quite a bit more spacious than regular balcony. Balcony is under lifeboats, so in the shade most often. This was OK for us as it was very hot during the cruise.
