We travelled with three couples who are all good friends. We were booked in Aqua class and there were various comments among us regarding the value.
We absolutely loved Blu, the diningroom designated to be used by Aqua cabin passengers. The room is smaller than the main dining room, service top notch and I think the food is prepared in a different kitchen. We generally had breakfast there as well, fresh orange juice, yum..and Nice and quiet. I used the Persian Gardens almost daily, nice heated beds, steam and sauna looking out over the ocean, and the other perk is the shower in our cabin that had jets of water for the body and overhead. We did have lunch in the buffet.
Because Blu was so good, we did not feel like we needed go to any of the private, extra charge dining rooms.
Our cabin was on the 11th deck, under the pool deck. As others have written there is a large overhang so trying to sit on the balcony to take the sun is really difficult. I was fine not having the sun there and just went up to to pool.
The size of the cabin is exactly the same as any regular balcony room.
Been to Florida before, no need for excursions.
