Ship Quality

Ship appearance improved since our November trip. Doesnt look like a rusty tub now

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was on tail. Impressed as it was bigger than the other balconies. Dont have to go far to do anything on ship, except to see the shows in front. We going to stay with the tail balconies.

dmanary123: You asked if if there were engine noise or motion in the back, the answer is no. If you like to see what is on the side of the ship, that is a drawback, as all you see is the propellers churning the water and what is in the back view. We were on deck 6 and no motor noise or rocking, all eating was at back, so we did not have to go far for that. In our opinion the aft balconies are great. It was our first time doing an aft, but we will do it more if the next ships have these.

Did you have engine noise or extra motion on the back? I've thought of trying one of those rooms but haven't.

Nothing wrong with that at all. A trip is all about doing whatever it takes to relax and enjoy
