Cabin: Junior Suite

Arrival: We arrived at 1045. Boarding was quick as we were staying in a suite. My cousin and aunt were in a promenade room and it took her over 45 minutes for them to board. We went straight to the Windjammer for lunch, which was fine and had lots of food selections to choose from. The announcement was made at 1pm that the rooms were ready and when we arrived our luggage was outside of our door.

We were in junior suite 1354 on the 10th floor. There was more storage area than we could have imagined. There is a large walk in closet, tons of shelving both inside of the closet, in the room and shelving in the mirrors in the bathroom. The walls were magnet but due to the abundance of storage, we did not need the magnetic hooks or the over the door hangers. The room has two outlets but the bathroom does not have an outlet to plug in a nightlight. That would be my only complaint about the room. Our stateroom Attendant was Lovern Jaundoo and she serviced our room twice a day. We had towel animals maybe three out of the seven days.

We ate 5 nights in the Sapphire Dining room. The first night service was slow. Food was OK and wait staff was great. The 2nd night was formal nights and the service and food improved. The dress code is not enforced and we saw one lady with khaki shorts and men with Dockers and polo shirts on formal nights. Some ladies were dressed to the nines and most were in business casual. The 2nd formal night was the Fisher’s Platter (lobster dinner). More people were in business casual and the lobster was very good and my husband ate 4 lobster tails.

Love it. Great location, lots of storage area and room attendant kept the room serviced. The room is below the Windjammer and we could hear occasional chair movement but it did not disturb us at all.
