Here is a summary of our cruise experience:
SHIP: Wonderful use of light and color throughout the ship. We loved the live tree in the bedazzled flower pot 'floating' in the atrium. There are multiple levels of pool decks with an abundance of loungers. It was never difficult to find a chair. Two outdoor pools with 4 hot tubs and one pool in the solarium with 2 hot tubs; lots of room for everyone. We loved the quiet atmosphere of the solarium pool with the beautiful chromotherapy water wall. We loved the fact that this area was for adults only; although this wasn't enforced. The Persian garden in the Aquaspa was a highlight for us; we ended each night in the steam room followed by a rest on the heated loungers.
RESTAURANTS: Restaurants & bars were very classy yet modern in decor. We were a bit surprised that of all the specialty restaurants, Murano has no windows so it was very dark with no view.
Very spacious with lots of storage and nicely decorated. Large bathroom with upgraded shower.
Noise from treadmills above beginning at around 6:30 am and ending at around 11 pm. We wear earplugs to bed but were still awaken by the sound in the morning and had trouble getting to sleep if we went to bed early. We spent little time in the cabin, so it was not a huge issue for us. Great unobstructed view all around except for the bridge which we enjoyed looking at. We didn't have the overhang above or the supporting posts like most of the 10th and 11th floor rooms have from the middle to the rear of the ship. However, we spent so little time on our balcony that I don't think this would've been a big issue for us.
We felt LOTS of motion in this cabin since it is near the top and near the front; not a good choice if you have motion sickness!
We enjoyed the handy stairwell just outside our room to the Aquaspa and Solarium.
Newton was our great attendant.
