The only thing I found I didn't like was the paintings on the landings of the stairwells. I felt they should have been more Art Deco like the rest of the ship; they were too modern and loud.

Our room was really nice. We booked an inside stateroom but got upgraded to an obstructed balcony, in the future I will only book a balcony room. I was afraid the room was going to be cramped, but it wasn't bad at all. We (my best friend and I) had two large suitcases a piece and still had room in the closest to hang more clothing. Our room was on the fourth floor mid ship behind a life boat. We still got a great sea breeze every night when it was cool enough to sleep with the balcony door open. Beware the crew works on the boat all the time, our first morning we were woken up by a bunch of crew members working on the lifeboats in front of our balcony.
