Sail Date: May 2015
Cabin: Balcony

Just out of drydock but ship had noticeable engine vibration when exceeding 10 knots. My 4th level aft cabin's bed definately vibrated which made for poor sleep. If you live in earthquake country, you don't want to feel your bed shaking!. Lower level MDR would have water in glasses vibrate the nearer you sat to rear of ship. Not pleasant.

The balcony cabin was surprisingly spacious, very clean and in good repair. Comfortable bed. Good insulation, did not hear any outside noise. The balcony is quite narrow, just a small table and two chairs fit very tightly into it.

All the staff I encountered were quite friendly and helpful. However, I never saw any staff try to enforce rules regarding adults only in Solarium, unsupervised children in Jacuzzi and gym, unsupervised children dangerously running everywhere, very young unsupervised children throughout the ship at night and in the casino. This issue of children and youngsters running amok has got to be a very difficult thing for the staff to address but Disney Cruises seem to have a handle on it, I have never encountered children being a nuisance towards other passengers like I do on Carnival ships.

See review re vibration issues. I strongly recommend getting as far forward and as high up a deck as possible.
