great, Carving Station was added, it has been very popular especially in the mornings for freshly cooked omelettes, eggs, etc.

New phones in all staterooms (you can now leave messages)
Suites and outside staterooms on decks 7 & 8 have been refurbished in beautiful shades of green (soft refurbishment: chairs, sofa beds,
headboards, ottoman, vanity chairs). replacing all carpets in these staterooms will be done soon.
New carpet & upholstery in the theater
Pool deck: fabulous new tiles in bright blue and seagreen colors, looking fresh and wonderful
