We chose this cruise for time of year (February) and port ( New Orleans). We were upgraded to a spa balcony. At first when I saw the location of the room (all the way forward on deck 14) I had regrets because of the location. But it was great. Husband went to O sheans for breakfast every morning instead of going all the way to the back of the ship for buffet and the spa/gym (for me) was only up 1 flight of stairs. We were fortunate to get Vibe passes and that is all the way forward. So cabin location was perfect. Cabin steward was outstanding and always asked how things were if there was anything more he could do.
We ate at most of the specialty restaurants which were excellent and the main dining room we always used was Taste. We found Taste to have quicker service. But Manhattan room does provide some entertainment also-we just never went there.
We felt the casino slots were very very very tight. Surprisingly so!!!!!
as noted above- good amount of space. Closet access is limited but overall floor space adequate. Small balcony but didn't spend much time on it. Cabin steward, Ryan, was excellent. Oh and I mentioned you only have to go up 1 flight of stairs for spa/gym/pool buffet.
i took a kayak out on the lagoon. It was OK. The beach is always murky there. The pool is wonderful but food and drinks way to expensive
