Review summary
We parked at the Weehawken Ferry Port and took the ferry over to Manhattan. Not only was it a nice (and surprisingly easy) way to get to the ship (View of Skyline and ship from New Jersey), it saved us about $150 on parking versus parking at the cruise port. Left out of Manhattan Cruise Center. Security and check in went smoothly and rather quickly (about 40 mins total). Ship was clean, food was good, not great (had better on the Pride out of Baltimore). Had a great cabin with an extra large balcony (room 8457). My wife and I got the CHEERS drink package and I think it saved us a boatload of money as our friends who traveled with us spent well over $600 more than we did. I would consider it if you like to have a few drinks! Crowd was definitely New York/North Jersey centric, so was a bit raucous. We like that kind of atmosphere so we were fine. Probably not the crowd if you are looking for a quiet relaxing atmosphere. Definitely more partiers than not. Weather was great. The first sea day a little rough, not bad though (to be expected in the North Atlantic). Otherwise warm and sunny. Ports were excellent (though I am not a fan of Nassau). As always, crew is excellent, bar, wait staff and room stewards were very attentive. We had fun and would do it again.

Ship tip
The Liner Bar area at the back of the ship has a good deli and Tandoor (indian) buffet. Both were excellent and rarely crowded so if you want a quick bite try those. The Mongolian wok is quite good, though usually a long wait for it.
Ports of call
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

I think this is a link to a video that someone else posted of the same room.
Unfortunately, we didn't take any photo's or video of the room.
Nice big balcony, that had two chairs, a table and a lounge chair.
If the link doesn't work, just google Carnival Splendor Room 8457.
