We chose anytime dining. We loved it. Had a chance to eat with others and/or our family. Only had to wait maximum 5 minutes for a table.

New ship and they were constantly updating it (paint, wash, etc...).

Cabin / Stateroom

We had 4 in a room. Overall, fine. When the beds where lowered from the ceiling, it made the room congested a little.
