The only two decks you could walk entirely from fore to aft on the ship were decks five and nine which either meant a lot of stairs or elevators. One of the most interesting features is at the fore elevator bay, there was an open area which ran from Deck 9 all the way down to Deck 3. The photo at the right is a picture of this looking down from deck nine.
One of the other neat things is that the room steward would make some interesting towel animals. We never knew what we were going to come back to in the evening. The room itself was nice. We had a king size bed (actually 2 twin beds pushed together). A couch, desk and TV, and of course we also had our balcony. Our cabin was located on deck 9 (Lido Deck) almost as far forward as possible (there was only one room more forward than ours). The room actually had quite a bit of motion too it a few days when the seas were rocky. The futher forward and the higher you go on the ship, the more of the ships motion you will feel. This mean we felt most of the motion. Luckily neither of us get seasick, however we did continue to feel the motion of the ship for about a week after returning. Christie really liked our servers at dinner as well - Jacobus (Jake) from South Africa and Siwakron (Siwa) from Thailand.
