Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

This one has all the amenities, friendly staff, good food...the only problem we continued to encounter was the ~ 5000+ people (passengers and crew), many of the passengers were older and between their walkers and scooters and canes and often folks (with challenges) walking PLUS many would just stop, mid aisle, and talk HA! it was crazy maneuvering around and thru the crowds. This made docking/arrival times late and shore excursions cut short. Finding a table in the Windjammer at breakfast and dinner was also challenging!

The outside entertainment was incredible! A couple of comedians-- in their PG show -- were hilarious! We really enjoyed Darrell Joyce, Mike Pace and Ed Regine.

The GIFT was a beautiful show, technologically off the charts, but little story line or sense of what had happened. Spectra's Cabaret had no story line at all, lots of glitz and audio visual equipment/effects, but very disappointing. Both casts were full of great singers and musicians, amazing dancers, gorgeous backdrops, state of the art 'extras'...but neither was something we'd recommend.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D3

Cabin was clean, attractive; tv showed multiple cruise venues plus CNN and Headline News, AMC, TNT and 2 ESPNS-- and a kids channel. Often it wasn't getting a decent signal so wouldn't work. When it did, we were frustrated that all NEWS was from an extreme left leaning viewpoint...no FOX or OANN. Also, our balcony view was of the huge yellow lifeboats and the white cranes that lift them out...that was disappointing, but we could still see the ocean. Will ALWAYS CHECK THIS OUT AHEAD OF TIME! Gotta say, the shower was beautiful...circular glass door, good water pressure, hot water when needed. And the stateroom attendant was friendly and efficient. Ahhh, almost forgot the HARD, HARD bed. And great cookies from the place next to Sorrento's??? (Clear where our priorities are HA HA)
