4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover?"
We're happy, though we haven't seen them yet. The 7a room should have good views off the back of the ship and of Castaway Cay. We'll see about engine noise. The 4e looks to have an enormous verandah, so that's very exciting! It's right next to the movie theater, so again we'll see about noise levels. I wish the rooms were closer to each other, but I think we have things to look forward to with each.

Same floor but pretty far away from each other.
