Select a room on the sunny side of the ship. Going south to the Caribbean you want to be on the port (left) side of the ship. For a more stable ride, select a room about mid-ship. If you are in the back of the ship you will definitely notice the motion of the ship more than mid-ship. The balconies for rooms on the 8th and 9th floor are more private than the 7th floor. We could see a portion of the balcony of the room below us on the 7th floor. Be aware when selecting a room what is below or above you. For example, people remarked that rooms below the gym which is on the 12th floor could sometimes hear people dropping weights above. You also don't want to be too close to atrium area if you go to bed early as the entertainment is fairly loud and you won't be able to sleep.

maybe the cruise director can find more variety onboard the ship. I felt the ship was being catered to more of an older crowd. The farewell theatre performance was pretty bad. As a matter of fact, many people began walking out and they stop clapping. I overall heard a guest express her distaste for the Elvis tribute show. I feel the cruise director needs a little more help with planning the activities cause she is NOT that good.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELEING WITH YOUR CHILDREN WHO ARE OF AGE TO DRINK AND PROVED IT AT CHECK IN, THERE ARE SOME IDIOTIC BARTENDERS WHO STILL ASKED MY SON FOR HIS ID....... TOTALLY RIDICULOUS WHEN HE ALREADY GOT HIS SEAPASS CARD AND PROVED HIS AGE WITH HIS PASSPORT. BARTENDER WAS UNPROFESSIONAL TO US WHEN WE QUESTIONED THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF HIM ASKING.

A little old ship but ok, I like that someone is at the entry of all food areas to make sure people clean hands.
