No way to reserve for any guest or group during my time dining. Only Two awesome shows in a 21-day cruise. If you otherwise find lots of noise in good taste and enjoyable in main shows, you will definitely like most shows. Most Piazza small shows were good.

I will agree with squeaky cabins. Just got off the Sky, so hopefully it will go away as ship goes through a break in. Will also agree with some crew are not up to standards. Shows were great, and so was the food.
