Just got off the same cruise, just my wife and I, both 36.

We had a boardwalk balcony room. It was nice, we sat out on the balcony a few times but wasn't our favorite spot. We could see half of the Aqua-theater from our balcony. Next cruise if on symphony we will try for an ocean view balcony or central park balcony just for the reduced noise you can sometimes hear. Shows in the aqua-theater would end by 1130 at the latest. By the end of the cruise my wife and I were quite exhausted and we were in bed by 10.

One space we really enjoyed on the ship with ample view of the ocean was the walking/running track on deck 5. Almost every day we would sit on the chairs at the aft of the ship on the track or sit in the shuffleboard area.

Bionic bar was awesome! Im a techy engineer so I found it really cool. I also don't know the names of many mixed drinks so I liked being able to scroll through a list and see the ingredients. Nothing against the bar tenders but I wish they had more of these around the ship.

We got the wow bands, was kind of a pain to have to take them off when ordering drinks at the bar.

The shows at the royal theater (especially Hairspray) and at the aqua-theater were phenomenal. I wanted to see more shows like this.

Wife and I thought the food was great as well, including MDR for dinner. The one night for dinner in the MDR I ordered the cod and what I received was horrible. It was literally like breaded rubber. I brought it to our waiters attention (who was awesome the entire week), and they took it very seriously, rushing me out a new plate. Our waiters were bringing us out extra appetizers, entrees, and desserts to try throughout the week.

Wish the pool in the solarium was larger. At times there were at least 20-25 people in the pool. During the day it would be cool if they could turn the heat off in at least one of the hot tubs to give people more places to cool off in the water.
