I had never reserved an Oceanview Stateroom with a large porthole window (usually I like the verandah) or Forward on the ship (usually I like Aft), however, I fell in love with this room. The location was great. The room was spacious enough for one person. No noise from neighbors or hallway. Room attendant was wonderful. Being forward, the elevators were never a problem being crowded. I slept like a baby for the 10 nights I was on the cruise. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were in the large dispensers. I miss the personal travel size bottles but not enough to cause any problems on the cruise. At night, it was relaxing to watch the moonlight through the porthole as I drifted off to sleep. Laundry room was just one floor up on the 9th floor. Quick, convenient, and easy to get to. However, VERY POPULAR as the cruise went on, but the guests were polite and considerate. I guess I was lucky? Didn't feel the motion of the ship as we sailed. Easy to get up to the Adults Only section of the pool and the Senses Spa.
