This was the first cruise I had ever been on. Let me start by telling you I had to pay double because I was a single cruiser, so I paid $1800.00, I had room #6221 on Level 6.
The room was adequate with a balcony, however, I was only 6 rooms from the front so beware, as you can easily get sea sick. I have been on small boats before and never sick, however the slow rock side to side, sent me to the commissary, which I brought drops for $16.99. The ships hallways were frigid, and everyone was complaining , including the staff.
I'm going to say the buffet line was 1 step down from prison food, and I have never seen such sad workers, when I did find the Odyssey dining room 2 days later, it was excellent and the customer service was outstanding.
Cabin was surfaced cleaned, the button on the toilet had a stain, and there was dust under the TV and on the lower shelves. Bring your own wipes and re-clean when you get in your cabin.
