This cabin has very little noise, I was a bit surprised by this as I noticed the deck below us was the casino and clubs. The only time it was a bit loud was when the announcing from below was happening and it this was a very short period of time. The cabin is in good condition and of average size with a shower, couch vanity and plenty of closet space. The balcony was average size had 2 chairs and a little table. There is a USB plug behind and on the TV that you can use as an additional charging area but you have to leave the TV on for it to have power. The location of the cabin is situated just the right amount of space from 2 different elevators but the stairs were not bad when only going to the ninth deck (Lido) or of course down to the 5th deck for the Casino or shopping and Comedy or Piano bar.

I was not thrilled with the food on the buffets on board but I will say the Guys burgers and the burger fixings were tasty and very flavorful. The Taco and burrito place that is only open for a few hours near the main pool is very good as well we just seemed to have a hard time being there when they were open. The sea day brunch i highly recommend and be sure you get the Macaroni and Cheese it is some of the best I have ever tasted.

As for the Embarkation process as a new cruiser I have nothing to compare it to but it was fairly smooth other than feeling like I was not sure I was in the right place at some times in the lines, turns out we were right where we needed to be.
