Review summary

We had a great cruise, but if just reviewing the ship...ship is showing wear. Nitpicky.....walls dinged up all over ship, broken closet door in room. They must not be replacing furniture currently, there were metal prep tables from the kitchen being used as tables in the windjammer, chairs from the mdr. At least once a day the toilet in our cabin wouldn't flush for about an hour (deck 7). We'd call, each time we were told it was maintenance. Entertainment was only so so. Food was ok to good depending on the meal, nothing bad to say. Overall, it was just ok. Staff was always friendly, helpful. Our mdr waiter had too many tables at the same time , he was trying his best.

I think it's the library on the deck map. There were tons of people playing board games and cards.

We were deck 7 forward. It was a great location. Down two flights to grab coffee in the cafe promenade. Only up 3 flights to walk across for the windjammer, this was great because elevators can be busy. I wouldn't do floor 7 near the card room in the back. It was very busy and noisy the entire time. I heard people with rooms nearby complained.

EOS goes into refit next year and gets a full update. Can't wait to see what they do to her. Free restraints are Windjammer on deck 11, main dining room on deck 3,4,5. Cafe Prom on deck 5 has lots of snacks. They also have free food in the Crown & Kettle from time to time and they setup surgeries on deck 5 and on the pool deck. Don't bother paying for the restraints. The free food is great.
