Review summary
Room R90: steward, Dedy, was friendly, accommodating, and did a great job. Orlando (Cruise Director) was funny and always providing fun activities. Ayu was a nice, funny, personable waitress in the Fantasy Dining Room. Food was amazing, service was great! Atrium with glass elevators was beautiful. Expected small interior room to be smaller than it was...it was fine except for when 3 women were trying to move around to get ready at the same time. Would have liked a refreshing pool in the adult-only Serenity area which had 2 nice hot tubs.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Seaview Bar & Grill
Great buffets and self-serve options. Guy's burgers were delicious. The Blue Iguana had flour tortillas for tacos, but I only like corn tortillas. 24 hour access to the ice cream machine was nice. The Chef's Choice varied daily depending on where we were. Most of what I tried was good. My girls had good sandwiches at the Deli.
Grand Atrium and Bar
Beautiful area with balconies on the higher floors looking over the activities by the bar. We saw a guitarist, a steel-drum player, and participated in a fun sing-a-long and dance party.
Onboard Activities
Serenity Adult-Only Retreat
This area was much quieter than the main pool where the families with children were. There were a lot of lounge chairs in the sun and a few in the shade of a roof. Hot tubs were hot and jets were powerful. I wish it would have had an adult-only cool, refreshing pool.
Resort Style Pool
We didn't go into the pool. It was too hot on that deck and too crowded with a lot of children. It's on a deck that has windows, but there's no breeze that can get in.

Ship tip
If you can't walk much, choose a stateroom near the elevator that goes where you want to be. Some of them won't let you go above or below the 8th or 9th floor.
