After Mr. Bill's review:

[laidbackin LA]

Some things I missed on the Journey:

 

No special buffet where the staff shows off its culinary art like chocolate or food artwork.

 

Not enough different places to "hang": Just the Looking Glass or the Cova Cafe (cramped).

 

While no complaints about the food as edible, I just missed the flourishes. There were no nice plating decorations, a lack of spicy food (not fair!) and generally not enough entree choices in the dining room.

 

I had a sky suite on floor eight, and all the noise from the Lido deck was disturbing, especially on the three port nights. There was either running overhead, or dancing, or furniture being moved after I was in bed at 11pm. (Early bedtimes for an old-fart couple).

which # sky suite were you in. I am on the 9-15 cruise and I am concerned about the noise level

[laidbackin LA]

I was in suite 8043, which is approximately under the space where the pool grill is situated.

We were in 8049 with no noise at all... just an FYI

[laidbackin LA]

Could be that your suite was under the area of Windows Cafe where there were dinig tables. Less disturbance most likely.

I was in 8053 and although noise was not constant you could definitely hear when furniture was being moved or when someone walked hard on the deck. It certainly was not enough to complain about and I would not hesitate to book a sky suite because of the noise.
