A few initial observations 

 

Pier checkin super easy

Good to make parking reservations 

We’re not sailing at full capacity 

Tea forte is available at Cafe Al Bacio 

Can water ( sad face)

Deck 6 smells like cigarette smoke

Tuscan Grill just ok not great food 

Tuscan Grill great service 

No laundry bag inside cabin

My cabin looks updated while my mom’s cabin has older furniture 

Deck 3 - my Oceanview window is super large 😀

Martini bar is well attended 

Fellow passengers super friendly 

The ship is in great shape

More observations 

 

I have seen zero kids

 

Less than 10 passengers wearing masks and we’re included in that 10.

 

Four crew wearing masks. Two at internet help desk and two at Cafe Al Bacio. Two of the four were wearing their mask improperly not covering their nose.

 

No chocolates were left at evening turn down. I’ll be sure to ask 😀

Enjoy the Martini Bar! The Bali Boys (Dewa and Gede) are great fun.

Rather than updated, yours on deck 3 appears to be one of the new staterooms that were added around 6 years ago when that area of the ship was reconfigured and the smaller Qsine restaurant created

Thanks for the photos and report. Enjoy your cruise.

Thank you. I really love the cabin and the semi private hallway with only 7 cabins. Once inside there is no noise from the atrium.

We have stayed a couple of times in the deck 3 OV cabins lovely big windows and nice and quiet! What number are you in? 

[BermudaBound2014]

Thank you for this!!

 

I have a cabin on Deck 6. Is the smoke smell coming from a smoking area below or in the hallway itself?

Thank you.  I remember you wanted to be able to stream movies on your sea days with your premium package.  When the time comes, please let us know if you are successful.  Hopefully the satellite connection in the Caribbean will be able to support it.

 

Your OV is very nice.

I”ll ask my mom. The cabin steward mentioned after sailing the smoke would disperse. I believe it’s coming from a smoking area on deck.

My sister texted to ask why are we in separate cabins. Well it was less expensive to get 2 cabins.😀

I would really appreciate the information on where that smoking area is. I will move my cabin (there are lots of empty cabins on my sailing) to avoid the smoke. THANK YOU!

My mom’s cabin is above a smoking area. She’s in 6012 accessible ocean view. Guest services called to say cabin steward will do a special cleaning of the walls. I walked the hall and the smell is only over a short distance.
 

Here’s a few pictures of the accessible cabin.

At the sushi demonstration we were given this coupon. It lasted 30-40 minutes. The chef advised us the rice comes from Japan.

That restaurant was pretty much empty during the entire 15 night cruise that we took.  When people ask for a quiet place onboard to play cards, I feel like suggesting Sushi on Five although I am sure that the ship would take a dim view of that.

 

Are you planning on eating there?

[Tee & Chilli]

We’re undecided although we like sushi. We booked two restaurants- Tuscan and Le Petite Chef.

Look at the theater set up with popcorn for the afternoon movie - Elvis (2022)

 

Nice touch

I'm in this cabin for the April TA.  Since it's one of the new cabins does it have a glass shower door or the old curtain?
