Background- We booked this in April as a kind of a last minute cruise after thinking we couldn't fit in a cruise this year. Our favorite classes of ships are Freedom and Voyager, but we have sailed on Sovereign, Vision, and Radiance class ships as well and enjoyed them all.

Food- Being that this was only a 4 night cruise and our tablemates were a little on the strange side, we only went to the dining room the first night. We had a brand new (first week) waiter so the service was a little slow, but we had the prime rib and it was good compared to how RC prime rib usually tastes. We ate in the WJ the second night, we ate at Atlantis in Nassau on the third night, and ate at Johnny Rockets on the last night. Overall, based on what we had in the WJ, JR, and the MDR the food was better quality than it was last year on the Liberty. So we were impressed with this aspect of the cruise.

Cabin- We had a deck 8 oceanview (8018). Deck 8 is really the way to go on the Sovereign class ships. It's close to the promenade deck, its close to the pool, its close to the Windjammer, we really enjoyed the location and not having to walk across the ship for everything. Having said that, the regular rooms are tiny! We had forgotten how much smaller they were than most ships, but for 4 days, its definitely manageable and you can't beat the price of the deck 8 cabins.
