We recently completed B2B cruises on the Serenade OTS. We cruised on the Sept 25 and Oct 2 voyages. Without a doubt this was the best Ship Board experience we have ever had on a cruise. We have never had a bad cruise or ever a mediocre cruise but our experience on the Serenade was outstanding. We are diamond + and the only reason I mention this is to show that we do have many cruises to compare against.
Food. Best we have had in years. The MDR food was excellent; not a bad or even average meal in the 2 weeks. Even though the menus repeated for both weeks the selections were more than enough for us.
We also ate at Chops 3 times and were extremely happy with each meal there.
JS1582 is directly under the Windjammer. You can hear the carts beinbg moved in the Windjammer in this room. Although the noise is intermittent it does occur anytime day or night. I don't think most people would be bothered but people who require absolute quiet to sleep will not like this room.
