We arrived early (around noon) and were allowed on the boat to have lunch and the first few drinks to relax. The room was ready promptly at 1:30 BUT it would have been nice if they made an announcement rather than everyone guessing and walking all the way to the room to find out they still had to wait.

Our room (7th floor aft with balcony) itself was much nicer than expected. I don't pay too much attention to the color scheme, etc. but it didn't catch my eye in a negative way so must have been ok. The bathroom was very small but adequate (and two oversized fluffy bathrobes!). There were three huge closets, desk area, tv, couch and coffee table. I would have liked a one/two cup coffee maker as I love to have a cup of coffee on the balcony when I first wake up, but just an inconvenience not a big deal. It was nice to be so close to the buffet so that I could just scoot and grab a tray full of coffee and fruit to eat on the balcony without having to get all 'dolled up'. The beds were adequate as well, not like sleeping on a cloud (10) nor in a cave (1) so I would give it a 6.5-7 for comfort and everything in the room was VERY clean.

I was very surprised how loud the room was. I realize the engines are rather loud, but as we are roughly 70 feet above them, I did not expect to have the room vibrate when the thrusters were kicked in (for docking purposes). This was only annoying when we were docking in the early hours waking us up but did last for about 30-40 mins off and on until we were actually docked. Read more
