Sail Date: Nov 2009
Cabin: Junior Suite

Ship was nice, clean and did not seem as big as it is. Not too crowded.

JS was nice. We had aft cabin. Did not know (my fault) that the superstructure would cover us most of the time. Would have chosen mid port side cabin but, we had good sun on the way back north so not a total loss. Aft cabin balcony was not as nice as Brilliance OS class ship.

Dining was fine. We had excellent service from our team and a great group at the table!! Went to Chops one night which was excellent and Portofino which was very good except for the tiramisu that many raved about online but I found lacking. Nothing like Chicago style tiramisu that I expected. Breakfast was solid but food did not always hot; had to search at times. Omelette bar looked slow but worked fairly fast though two in different locations would be better. Fresh fruit was lacking with pineapple only available once.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

Cabin clean, shower was big so that we did not have curtain cling, closet was large enough for 7 days and would have been fine for longer cruise.

Balcony on this ship was covered by superstructure. Too much shade. We did not enjoy view and had to go on deck for photos. We had an aft cabin on Brilliance OS and it was much better.
