From the moment we checked in to the moment we left the ship it was one well organized trip. Check in was so easy and fast. Staff is amazing, food in Blu was so good, they will get you anything you want. This was a very international cruise with people from 43 different countries. Tours where good but once you see one Shinto Shrine you have seen all of them. Busan S. Korea was nice but not enough time to see much but considering today's world we are happy we made it there. Each port we pulled into gave us a warm welcome with bands, and dance shows.
The only thing we didn't like is the pressure to sign up for a specialty restaurant or to upgrade our drink package. I am not sure if the staff gets a bonus if you sign up for something extra but we didn't like being asked every time we sat down if we would like to make a reservation for a specialty restaurant.
Yes this room has a smaller deck area but this wasn't a problem for us. Some people think it is a noisy room because it is just below deck 10 but we didn't find that. What we like is how close this room is to the evaluators and is one floor below the Oceanview Cafe and pool.
