Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Traveled with children

Overall - an enjoyable trip with a few issues (see below)

Embarkation could've been better - we had an inexperienced staffer check in my group of six (3 rooms) and the staffer incorrectly checked in my parents. (had to retake photos for the seapass scan when they tried to board the boat... and also forgot to set the account to the credit card that I already setup online.... so it was setup as cash, and wasn't notified until we tried to disembark - which then required heading back to guest service to deal with. that delayed us by another 30 minutes)

had a snafu with reserving lunch at chops grille and giovanni's...

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

really not much that's different from all the other reviews about the other D2 staterooms.

I can say that noise was never an issue and it was a quick two stories to the windjammer if you wanted a quick buffet bite (and afternoon soft serve). I never inquired with the room attendant, but I only noticed two sockets at the desk (which were enough for me)
