Our balcony was the perfect mix of ocean view and people watching. No noise issues when balcony door completely closed. The service and food were exceptional. The shows were full of talented performers, both the ice show and Mama Mia. The theme/show choice wasn't my favorite but still very entertaining. I have the coffee card and enjoyed iced coffee and cookies on the balcony. Best foods on this cruise were my cafe la leche dessert at Sabor and the crab cake appetizer in the main dining room. Mini golf and basketball facilities both very well-kept and updated. We liked our towel creations by our sweet room attendant Sarah. The high diver in the Aqua show is so impressive! Remember to take all your belongings down the gangway after breakfast when disembarking; they would not let my husband go back and get his iPad so it is cruising for another 8 nights.
