This was my 10th cruise and wasn't many reviews since the ship was redone. Our cruise started off with the ship coming in late. didn't arrive until 1pm I went to the ship at 2:30 and was in my cabin at 3:30. apparently you can sign up for text alerts if the ship is late. I recommend that since they sent an email to my work address on sunday after I left for galveston. I'm a platinum member so we got on and off the ship extremely quick. WE also received a coupon for a drink up to 9.00 chocalates delivered to our room and did the laundry service which was great. You just fill up the bag and they bring it back folded or hung free. You receive that twice on a 5 day.
Okay after reading the reviews didn't know what to think. So I will give mine.
After being on the conquest then this one the big difference was No fridge in the room. Your steward can bring buckets for ice.
I was in the aft balcony 8430 which was a longer balcony except for the wraparound balcony. it had 3 chairs a lounge chair and 2 tables and still had plenty of room. One of the glass panes must have broke because there was a new one seamed together but it was clear where all the others had tint on them. There is no thermostat in the room so you may want to bring a long sleeve shirt or windbreaker. I was happy with cold but this room was freezing. My cameras and binoculars would fog up you wipe it off and it stayed fogged up for a few minutes.location was great room was the normal size all luggage fit under bed. had a queen size type bed and smaller couch. The balcony was bigger than the one beside me on one side and then the wraparound was on other side. Room steward was great. I love the view and just sitting and watching the wake of the ship.
