We are experiencing moderate swells at the moment on the way to Iceland and we can hear creaking in the cabin. The balcony is larger than the regular balconies we've had in the past, with higher ceiling (some balconies on this ship aren't covered). We are close to the aft elevator which is convenient but the Horizon Court on this ship is fully forward. Taking the aft elevator to the Lido deck means you have to walk through the spa to go forward which feels a little awkward and probably unpleasant for the spa users. There is a door at the end of our hall to an outside balcony which runs the full width of the ship. There is a laundromat also down the hall which would be handy for a long cruise. Not sure if they've changed the coffee in the buffet -- we don't think it is very good. There is no International café on this ship but you can purchase coffee,which seems a little better than the buffet, from Good Spirits at Sea on deck 5.
$2 for reg coffee. The shower is very tiny and there seems to be a shortage of bathmats on this ship so we are hanging ours up to dry. The bed is comfortable -- better than what we had on the Regal in December. The location is very quiet. I will happily answer any other questions.
